Programatically preventing Firefox to auto-resize images - firefox

By default in Firefox every time you open an image it will re-size to fit within the browser window, now if you view a lot of images this can become annoying having to click on the image every time it loads to see it full size.
There is a way to switch off that in about:config, but this is not a solution for a broader public.
Is there a way to switch that off by some JavaScript function, or CSS, or something else?


If you would like to switch off auto-resizing images in your browser, then you can
type about:config
search for property browser.enable_automatic_image_resizing
and set it to false
If you want it for your visitors, I just can repeat what Jeremy Sydik writes in Design Accessible Web Sites,
it’s just their web, we’re building on it.
And in this case, you really shouldn't decide whether your users want Firefox's auto-resizing feature or not. You can always choose a solution that gives better user experience to your visitors. For instance, you may install a Lightbox variant as Daniel A. White already mentioned.
There is also great_llama's solution to open images inside a HTML page.


Point to a dynamic page that uses an IMG tag with the appropriate source, rather than pointing to the raw image. Use the querystring or something similar to pass the image name to the page.
<html><body><img src="yourimage.jpg"></body></html>


I dont think there is anyway to change that behavior, at least using javascript or css.
Why not use a jQuery Lightbox?

Though I have not tried it, I don't see why it would autosize if you wrapped it in html and not link directly to the image.
if that is an option, just wrap it in html:
<style type="text/css">
* { margin:0; }
</style>
<img src="whatever.jpg" />


If you are the owner of the image, embed the image in an HTML document. Firefox resizes an image only if you open it directly in the browser.
If you are talking from a Firefox user's point of view, I think about:config is the appropriate place to disable this functionality.

Umbraco - how to insert clickable images into page?

I am a beginner with Umbraco. I am able to upload images to the Media Library and then put them onto the page, but for my sidebars I want the images to be clickable links to other parts of my site and other sites.
At the moment I am using the Rich Text Editor to write an anchor tag etc. but this seems ridiculous and I don't want content authors [attempting to be] writing HTML.
It seems like there should be a built-in data type for this, or a property on the image but I see nothing. Do I need to write my own Razor code as a DataType? This seems like such a common thing that I'm surprised there is not a built-in solution.
I'm using 7.2.8

If you're already using the RTE, you can just select the image and click the Link button, then whatever you have selected (in this case the image) should become a link. No need to make your own HTML :-)

How to disable firefox's reader view from my website?

Today i updated my firefox to the latest version and one big feature is the reader view for desktop. We launched a webshop two weeks ago and now there is this tiny "reader view" icon. When i click on it i get an error-message. My team-leader wants me to remove this feature when visiting this site.
is it possible to remove or hide the "reader view" feature from firefox when visiting my site?

There is currently no legit way of disabling Reader View for your website. Reader View is supposed to automatically detect on what pages it should be available and on what pages it should not.
If there is an issue with your website, your best option is probably to report it there: https://github.com/mozilla/readability/issues
You can also find more info about the issues affecting Reader View in Firefox there: https://wiki.mozilla.org/QA/Reader_view
Although I would not recommend it, there might be a way to fool Reader View into thinking it should not parse your website, if you really need to. A quick look at the source code reveals that it will not parse certain type of documents, certain URIs and malformed URLs. You would need to dig in the source to understand how/if your site can safely be adapted to avoid being parsed. The Reader View source code can be found here: https://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-release/source/toolkit/components/reader/ReaderMode.jsm or

This Question shows how to Optimize website to show reader view in Firefox. So you have to ensure that your site is not optimized for the Reader View.
Don't use formatting options that are favoured for the Reader View and so on.
I guess this will suffice:
Don't use the <p> Tag
write all Textblocks in small portions
Here are some more details about the mechanism

Replace p tags with div tags in your page. It worked for me, even when I have div tags with pre tags (preformatted text) on the same page.

There is no way of forcing disabling the Reader View to the user, But if it is important to your site, you can notify the user to disable or not use the reader feature of firefox.
This would be the way to Disable the Reader on the users browser
in the Enter about:config in browser address bar
click the "I'll be careful I promise" box
search for reader.parse-on-load.enabled
toggle preference to false (right click > toggle to false )
close the about:config page > refresh browser > reader view icon has gone

put this code on your css code and you are done !

Timthumb image thumbnails not appearing on wordpress site

I'm trying to put together a page at http://www.sketch360.com/store/home/ which should show featured products and thumbnails for those products. For some reason the images aren't showing on page load, even though they immediately appear when you either right-click on the image, click on a next/previous arrow, or open 'developer tools' in chrome.
The status of the image styling in css I've noticed, changes from display:none to display:inline-block when you perform any of the above actions to get the images to show.
I've been through the timthumb troubleshooting steps at http://www.binarymoon.co.uk/2010/11/timthumb-hints-tips/ and have changed permissions on all directories according to these instructions. Any help would be much appreciated in getting these images to show up on page load.
The images show up (also using the timthumb method, I believe) on this alternative page: http://www.sketch360.com/store/shop/ but not on the first page (that is going to form the home page for the site: http://www.sketch360.com/store/home/ ).
Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

It isn't a timthumb or wordpress issue. It looks like it is a stylesheet / jQuery issue - where the div that covers the image (used for the highlight on hover) is opaque and covering the images. The funny thing is that when I "Inspect Element", the images all appear.
Double-check your starting styles for class "overdefult" - make sure it has the right opacity or set the background color to transparent. (You could also try removing it temporarily to prove that this div is indeed your issue.)

After many hours banging my head against a brick wall, I have discovered an updated script available that controls the bxSlider used to display these images in li's - and having upgraded the minified script, the problem seems to have resolved itself - just in case there are others needing help on this too.

full screen fancybox(iframe)

I use fancybox plugin on my website and I want to display an iframe in fullscreen.
I use this This goes to iframe, and the problem is that the iframe is not displayed full screen.
Check this and click on details to see what I'm talking about.
Why is not working ?

I believe the link is incorrect, here's one that I'm using now and it works.
<p><a class="fancy fancybox.iframe" href="http://www.youtube.com">Link name</a></p>
In your case "fancy" might need to be changed to fancybox fancybox.iframe. Haven't quite figured out the full screen. It looks like it needs to be done using javascript.

Manipulate Html from Firefox Extension

I am creating a Firefox extension that is somewhat similar to Firebug. There is a panel (or vbox) at the bottom of the browser that allows users to specify colors to certain Html elements. When they click the OK button, I would like these colors to get updated on the current web page.
I have my JavaScript working when I click the button (i am just throwing an alert), however when I change that JavaScript to change the css or styles of an element (by either using document.getElementById or jquery), nothing changes.
Is there something with Firefox extensions that I am missing? Any help is appreciated.
Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks

You want content.document.getElementById() and similarly for every other construct you use.
