How can I get a tab to open in an oversize jpg image in its original size with scroll bars when I click on a link?
I have a small program for storing my genealogy names and jpg images of the census pages where each name is found. The images have a thumbnail link that opens in a new tab to view the actual oversized census page. In the new tab the census page is small and not readable. How do I get the jpg image to appear in its original size with schroll bars so I can read the census in the firefox browser without using the zoom feature. It takes several clicks on the zoom to get the image to a readable size and that is time consuming, especially when I have several images opened.

Enter about:config as an address in to the location bar, and look for a setting named browser.enable_automatic_image_resizing (you can type a portion of that in to the Filter to reduce the number of displayed items).
Set this preference to false and now any over-sized images will now be shown at full size by default. Clicking will still resize the image to fit the window.

Works very well. Thanks so much for the easy to understand instructions. It looks like Firefox and I are going to be good friends.
That works, thank you!
Could I suggest that this feature (the ability to turn off or turn on the auto-resize of images) be part of the Options tab on Firefox? I think it's a setting that some users might want to change fairly often--even toggle back and forth on. It's a little annoying to have to go into about:config every time to do this.
A possibility is to use an extension like PrefBar to have a toolbar button (check-box) to toggle that pref.
