Auto-rotation by-pass on Firefox with all websites
With the latest update, something was either broken or MSN figured out a way to by-pass a security feature or how browser (security and or search), now allows auto-rotation to occur without users consent. What I mean, for instance a user goes to a page that has a box that has either picture views or views of another page but in that same page. Once you go into that page from a link on MSN.com the auto-rotation gets turnded on by default automatically. Before the update, this didnt happen! I have all my setting on strict and dont allow this, but it still occurs. All and any pages with this type of scroll or auto-rotation this occurs.

That looks like a website feature that Firefox doesn't directly control. Or is it a new Firefox feature?
If it's a site feature you previously turned off using that switch, the site might have stored your preference in a cookie. It's possible that when the viewer loaded, the cookie was not accessible (either blocked by a cross-site cookie block or the cookie was cleared recently) so the site is following its default behavior.
Current Firefox versions by default rotate JPG images according to EXIF data.

You can add this CSS rule to disable this feature:
- img {image-orientation: none|from-image}
