How do I turn off "image auto-resizing"?

After upgrading to version 3.6.3, the browser is now auto-scaling my images. I turned off "auto-resizing" on the About:Config page (in other words, setting that parameter to "false") but Firefox is still auto-scaling my images. How can I prevent this?

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

If you have set the pref browser.enable_automatic_image_resizing to false on the about:config page then Firefox shouldn't resize images.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
