To all the people who are starting Firefox in safe mode and not having access to any addons: there's a better way. I believe we've narrowed it down to PicLens being the problem. Just go to - Tools -> Addons and disable PicLens. No reason to not have AdBlock, NoScript and any others you use on a regular basis.

Dl'd 3.0. I find it now enlarges the images as well as the text when I use the ctrl+ scroll wheel. And they reversed the damn direction of zoom on the wheel. I looked and could not find a way to disable the zoom of the images. If you're voting on images and don't realize you're zoomed you might end up with a crappy version of the image. I'm gonna keep looking, certainly there is a way to disable the image zoom. I use font zoom a lot. When I'm tired my astigmatism acts up and I have to boost the fonts a notch or two. I'm also careful never to vote on images when my eyes are tired. I vote mostly in the morning.


Firefox 2.0 resizes graphic images automatically.
For those who don't want Firefox to resize images automatically, just follow these simple steps.

1. Type about:config in the address bar and press Enter.

2. The Firefox configuration window will appear. Look for the preference name browser.enable_automatic_image_resizing and double-click it to change its value to false.

I tried this in FF3 and it works.

True, I got all my regular addons back and no problemo. Piclens is the culprit.

So I get Firefox 3 and I DID get the piclens plug - and voila - things started crashing again. Sooo, I took Jac's advice and started Firefox in safemode. There's an option to disable ALL plugs - but not any specific ones. So I checked the box and restarted Firefox.

Now I have no Yahoo toolbar. I rely heavily on my Yahoo toolbar. I have downloaded it several times and it just won't appear. I have reinstalled Firefox, but no dice.

Help?


Go here to download it again.

Yahoo toolbar

ETA. err you already did that. hmm i'll be back...

We're talking about two different things. Image resize is not a problem as the default max size of DPC images is smaller than my monitor rez.

FireFox 2.0 DOES NOT resize images when you adjust the fonts via the CRTL+ Scroll wheel. But I suspect it can be disabled in much the same as you showed for the resize. When I find the solution I'll post it.

I'm having no problem with Piclens and Firefox 3.0.

It could be one of the GreaseMonkey addons causing the problem. Not all are compatible with Firefox 3.0.

Found my solution to the image zoom when zooming text problem with FireFox 3.0. In the "View" menu there is a "Zoom" selection. Under that selection is the selection "Zoom text only". That fixed the problem with image zooming while zooming text with scrollwheel+CTRL. The scroll wheel is also implemented backwards with this option on FireFox 3.0. If you don't want the wheel backwards when using scrollwheel+CTRL you have to enter about:config in the URL bar. Answer the "be careful question" and search for:
mousewheel.withnokey.numblines. Set this to -1 (negative one) and you're back to what you were used to in FireFox 2.0.

I find my whole browsing experience is slow now, compared to FF2. I disabled all addons to see if any are causing this slowdown. If this keeps up i'll have to revert back to FF2, if I can.
