Modify default browser behavior so that images load in max resolution

I'd like to modify my browser (Firefox Quantum 57.0.1, 64-bit) so that images open in max resolution rather than auto-scaling to fit the browser window when I navigate to an image URL.

My programming background does not include any web development so I wouldn't know where to start on this project; I've experimenting with the developer tools console as a starting point. Based on the readout from the dev tools console and related posts here I am hypothesized that the HTML snippet <head><meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width; height=device-height;"> controls default auto-sizing that occurs when I open images. Is there a simple modification I can make to consistently open to max resolution instead of auto-sizing anytime I use the browser to look at a new image?

Am I on the right track? Can anyone provide some pointers? Is this a feasible browser modification?

NB: apologies to the inevitable senior user editing this post for incorrect tags or nomenclature - I don't have any experience in

  1. Type about:config in the Firefox address bar
  2. Search for browser.enable_automatic_image_resizing
  3. Change it to false
