Why won't large images open in full screen on first click?

I go to open an image (jpg, png) that has a byte size of 2000 x 3096. What ends up happening, is that it will initially open a full screen window, and after a second or so, that full screen window will shrink to a half screen window. Now I'm required to click the max window size button in the upper right corner to expand the window to full size, right click on the image, select View Image from the drop down menu, and then finally click in the image to get it to display in its full size.

Is there a plug-in, or a config. parameter that I can use, so that the image opens up in full screen mode from the start?

Chosen solution

Is this with opening an image link from a web page or with viewing images that you already have stored on the computer?

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

You can try to rename or delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js and user.js files to reset all prefs to the default value.
