I use a lot of different browsers on my systems. I am using Safari on the Mac and Internet Explorer on Windows - and of course most of the other available browsers like Camino, Opera and Firefox. My favorite is Firefox. One simple reason is the huge amount of available plug-ins and extensions which are handy for daily browsing and of course for development purposes.
Another great thing about Firefox is customization. Ever tried to put “about:config” in the URL box? Doing so enables you to change a lot of settings where no GUI is available. In fact that’s the GUI for managing Firefox’ “registry”. One thing which was bothering me all the time about Firefox was the automatic image resize to fit in the window.
Fire up Firefox. Enter “about:config” and just change the value of “browser.enable_automatic_image_resizing” to false. That’s it.
