Hey up, I've noticed a problem with my Firefox that I don't know how to solve; Looking at certain galleries (nothing dodgy), when I click a picture and it opens in a new window, the picture has been shrunk (which it's set not to do), so I have to right-click, 'View Image' to see the full-size image. Fair enough, it's iritating, but then when the full picture comes, it's still within the small window, so I can only see a section of the photo and I can't resize the window! So I think the main problem that I'm having is that extra windows aren't resizeable...


Can anybody help me, please?


Cheers,


AL

Ps. the site was Boss Cerbera's Gallery

Probably the way the gallery is spawning the new window. You can select various options as to what the browser can/can't do such as: address bar, menu, resizable, scroll bars. Drop Boss a quickie e-mail and let him know his sites going a bit iffy in Firefox, it's a 30 second thing to fix in all likleyhood.

Try unticking the 'Tools / Options /Advanced / Resize large images to fit in browser' box..

Do as well edit the Firefox preferences to forbid hiding the status bar of windows. IIRC, then the corner to resize windows will not be removed from a window.

#Edit
#Preferences
#Content
#Enable JavaScript /Advanced...
#Check 'Hide the status bar'

Do you mean 'uncheck'? If so, it's already unchecked. To the previous guy, I did set images not to resize, but the option doesn't seem to be there anymore...

You are right, Alex: uncheck
Is the first one, move&resize, checked? Javascript seems to fit the windowsize to the photosize, after the image has been loaded.

I don't have difficulties with resizing the pictures from boss' gallery.

You can manually set the resize option.
Type about:config into the address bar and hit enter.
Search for the option browser.enable_automatic_image_resizing and change the value to 'false' by double-clicking the line.

I can resize them now, but they still don't originally show up as full size, I have to right-click view image to get the full pic, also there's still no maximise button, so I have to resize it to the size of my screen....

Cheers, I did that last night actually, so it is doing that, but still when I click on one of the thumbnails it opens a smaller version of the picture and i have to click View Image and then resize my window to fit it in....
