How to override text size settings on mobile websites

bobthefish

Apologies if this is a stupid question. It seems to be the case that websites designed for mobiles (e.g. http://m.guardian.co.uk/), have a default text size setting which ignores the equivalent setting in Firefox Android. Consequently, in some websites like the one mentioned above, the text is unnecessarily large, making the reading process rather labour intensive. I know I could revert to the desktop site, but I'm more likely to revert back to the default android browser (which has no problem adjusting the text on these sites), which would be shame, as apart from this problem, I am loving the Firefox experience.

I am on Samsung Galaxy S2, Android 4.0.4.

Cheers
