Hello, I have recently installed Firefox 33.1 and noticed that, when I open an image on a new tab, some of them will show a thumbnail of the image I opened on the tab, while others don't. I am wondering, if there is a way to stop Firefox from making these thumbnails? Thanks.

You can set that via this pref on the about:config page.

Do you have an example where this is not happening?

Feels like if an image is larger than around 1000 pixel on one side, it won't have a thumbnail. For example:1500*1500, 1362*768 don't have a thumbnail, while 1024*768 do.
