The first edition of TechBits comes courtesy of Lifehacker. You know how Firefox resizes images to fit in the browser window when they're too large for it? Personally, I find that annoying, and if you don't like how Firefox behaves, here's how you can disable that feature:
- Open a new tab (Ctrl+T) in Firefox. Type about:config in the address bar and press Enter.
- In the "Filter" text box, start typing browser.enable_automatic_image resizing. You don't need to type the whole thing; you just need to make the setting appear in the list below.
- Double click on the browser.enable_automatic_image resizing entry in the list and the value should change to false.
- You're done!
Thanks! I'm pretty sure this used to be an option in firefox, though I may just be imagining it. I've been looking for a way to fix this for a while!
