Help with imgur (RESOLVED) [View all]

Edit: Issue resolved thanks to CurtEastPoint.

I have checked out CurtEastPoint's thread and others but am still having trouble with imgur.

In brief:

DUer BumDaRush show had said:
I did a right-click on that pic (I use Firefox) to get a drop-down menu that offered a choice to "View image". Selecting that gave me the image full screen and I just copied the URL of that page and pasted here!

I am not even offered that "view image" option. But if I copy the permalink and open it in a browser like firefox, I get an ugly sort of link like this:

https://i.imgur.com/ucztuyf_d.webp?maxwidth=640&shape=thumb&fidelity=medium

As I have seen others recommend, I trimmed out everything past the dot and added jpg. Now I can see the image but its resolution is much lower.

See:

I made a post for the science forum with some pics but am stuck with this issue :-/.

I have to go work but thanks in advance for any help. It is truly appreciated...
