When clicking on thumbnails, thus opening full-size images on websites with galleries, the favicon to the left of the URL gets replaced by an icon-sized version of the selected image. This does not happen with IE or Safari. The "feature" is not really helpful, as small images are most of the time not recognizable, due to their small icon size. It doesn't happen if the source image is of a large size.

You can set the pref browser.chrome.image_icons.max_size to 0 (zero) on the about:config page.

Thank you for the info. I never knew about the "about:config". I was more concerned as the Blog owner how it appears to visitors.
