Why are images opened in new tabs expanding past 100%

When opening an image of any type in a new tab, it will scale down as normal, but when clicked to "fullsize," it zooms in past 100%, approximately the equivalent of two adjustments of the scroll wheel in.

Example: I have a 1920 x 1080 display, and if I expand a 1920x1200 image, the width far exceeds the horizontal boundaries (which should be identical, allowing no horizontal scrolling. To better describe this, here's an example: http://i.imgur.com/UfbqFnD.gif

Note the brackets highlighting the extra scrolling space on the bottom image.

I have a high dpi display (1920x1080, 15.6 in screen,) have tried setting Firefox to Disable Display Scaling on High DPI Settings, but to no avail.

Firefox v 31.0 Windows 8.1, 64 bit

Plugins:

  • Shockwave Flash 14.0 r0
  • Plugin for Wacom tablets.
  • NPWLPG
  • Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape 10.0.0

Thank you in advance for any and all help that can be provided.

You can try to set the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx pref on the about:config page to 1.0 or on Windows 8 to 1.25 and if necessary adjust layout.css.devPixelsPerPx starting from 1.0 in 0.1 or 0.05 steps (1.1 or 0.9) to make icons show correctly.

Use an extension to adjust the text size in the user interface and the page zoom in the browser window.

You can look at this extension to adjust the font size for the user interface.

You can look at the Default FullZoom Level or NoScript extension if web pages need to be adjusted after changing layout.css.devPixelsPerPx.

You may have zoomed the page(s) by accident.
Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.

  • View > Zoom > Reset (Ctrl/Command+0 (zero))

You can check for problems caused by a corrupted localstore.rdf file.

Thank you for the prompt reply!

Unfortunately, messing with the zoom settings (trying to reset it or setting it to Text Only) didn't change anything, and deleting/regenerating my localstore.rdf was also to no effect.

Adjusting layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to 1.0 instantly fixed it, and NoSquint allowed my to easily edit global text size without over expanding images.

Thank you so much, your help is deeply appreciated!
