Zooming into an image pushes it into the corner

more options

Hey there! Just the other day, I found that zooming into an image with Ctrl+the scroll wheel on my mouse pushes the image over onto the side of the screen without actually zooming into it. To try to help illustrate what i mean:

This is an image with no zoom at all. http://i.imgur.com/pI88iIA.jpg

1x Zoom http://i.imgur.com/z8bXakk.png

2x Zoom http://i.imgur.com/9gzHH1T.png

I thought perhaps it might be the wheel in the middle, but I tried to manually right click on the image and zoom, but it also pushes it into the top left corner as well.

If it helps at all, the only image add-ons I have for firefox are "old Default Image Style 3.0.2" and "ImageTweak 0.25.1". Everything has been working fine and it doesn't appear that anything needs and update or anything. If it is the wheel, I can easily go buy another mouse, but if it's Firefox I definitely need some help! :D

Thanks

If this happens on regular web pages, i.e., not viewing an isolated image, I would suspect "Text Only" zoom is set. You can check here:

View menu > Zoom > Zoom Text Only

Note: If you use the compact menu (orange Firefox button) you can display the classic full menu bar by tapping the Alt key once.

Ah, this is happening on isolated images. (like, if I right clicked on an image and clicked "View Image")

I looked into the menu and Zoom Text Only is not selected.

Did you try disabling "Old Default Image Style"? It was just updated Saturday, so that seems like a coincidence we shouldn't ignore.

I bet that's probably it. Where do I go to disable that?
