Neither of those. It's because most browsers think its better to blur when zooming in than it is to keep visible pixels. And for most things -photos, drawings, etc.- that's true. But it sucks for pixel art.

That fix doesn't work for Firefox 3. For any Firefox users, I've looked it up and the zoom filter for images is hard coded and Mozilla doesn't seem to want to change it for some reason. So the only solution is to switch browsers/downgrade to Firefox 2, unfortunately. :/

Huh, that's odd. I googled it and kept finding forum posts about it being hardcoded and the fix wasn't working (I'm using the beta though).

And after all of that the solution was to check the "zoom text only" option. :P
