How to not have shrunk down image for Google Image results on All results tab for Firefox Android

On the all results tab of a google results, all images that I click on are shrunk down making you have to click on full size image. When you click on the image when you go to the images result tab, it's not shrunk down. This isn't like this with other browsers and it's very frustratingly annoying to have to go through every time that it has made me not want to look up images if I don't absolutely need to. Don't know how to describe this to search up how to disable this option.

I have this installed:

menu button > Add-ons > Google Search Fixer

This makes the results in Firefox look very similar to the results in Chrome, at least as far as I can tell. If you are not already using this add-on, does it make any difference for you?

Hi

So that I can look into this, could you share the URL of a result page where this happens?

This is the url of the All results page image, same as the one first posted

This is the result of the one of the images section which I'll attach an image for comparison as well.

Thank you, it did. Do you know why it's like that by default/the intent for the original image result layout?

Why does Google give Firefox users an inferior experience by default? Hmm, I could only speculate.

Gotcha, thought there might have been some sort of functional reasoning behind it.
