Overcomming blurred images in firefox

While using firefox, I recently noticed that most of the images are blurred and/or having artifacts all over. Initially I could not understand why this was happening even with new tabs. But it looks like when you zoom in, in firefox (using Ctrl +/- or the mouse wheel), it zooms images too. Also firefox "remembers" the zoom settings in some way, so that it applies for new tabs too. This is counter productive for me, since the main reason I zoom in is to read the text better, not for images.

So for those of you who want to disable this image zooming feature of firefox, go to View -> Zoom -> Zoom Text Only.

Its a trivial tip, but it changed my browsing experience for the better!
