pref: browser.enable_automatic_image_resizing  has no effect.
It seems the feature to disable automatic sizing is no longer available. :-(


Reproducible: Always

Hmm, I figured out that at least the feature has changed:

In ff2b1 the setting really disables auto sizing, and the feature is not available.

In ff2b2 the setting auto sizing is always enabled, but it's seems not to auto size on load if the setting is false.

Is this really a intentional change?

If so, I would change to a enhancement request, I'd prefer a tristate setting:
 0=off, 1=enabled, do auto size by default,  2=enabled, don't auto size by default
Or: two settings due to compatibility reasons ;-)
e.g. browser.enable_automatic_image_resizing  + browser.enable_image_resizing

I think this is the result of the intentional change in bug 197263.  Why do you want to turn this feature off entirely?

A number reasons.
1. I don't like it at all (odd timing behaviour).
2. I's buggy (well if #1 would be the case I would file a bug) *
3. There is no space left to click in the window for focusing (I often have a number windows open the same time).

*) browser.enable_automatic_image_resizing is false
  load image that just fits into the window, then reduce size 
  -> image gets resized, but browser.enable_automatic_image_resizing is false
  load image that fits into the window, then reduce size, zoom in image, increase size until whole image is visible
  -> mouse cursor is (-), despite the fact it's not zoomed

What I really would prefer is:
  disable all the automatic
  have a context menu "shrink to window" or "fit to window"
  use mouse cursor to drag the image position "pan zoom"
  use mouse wheel to zoom in/out (regardless of image size), keeping relative mouse position within image.

3 of the bugs that were marked as duplicates of 197263 (i.e. 211510, 243650, and 293795) were actually asking for 3 states (image resizing enabled, the old behavour, and the new behavour). This was actually the more common request. It is only 197263 and duplicate 202052 which wanted the change that has actually been made.

yes, please remove the resize 'always on' and bring back the older option to just turn it off and on.

Comment 8

[Tyler Downer [He/Him]]

This bug was reported on Firefox 2.x or older, which is no longer supported and will not be receiving any more updates. I strongly suggest that you update to Firefox 3.6.3 or later, update your plugins (flash, adobe, etc.), and retest in a new profile. If you still see the issue with the updated Firefox, please post here. Otherwise, please close as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME

I'm already working with FF3.6.3 and it works as expected. Tested it right know.
