Why aren't fonts scaling on pinch zoom?

On Android 5.0.1 using FF42+, font size doesn't scale on most sites. Most of those which do, typically don't reflow the copy. This causes horizontal scrolling.

I have the font size set to Extra Large, and Full Screen Browsing option ticked.

Any suggestions?

Firefox does not reflow on zoom. As you noticed the text zoom options only take effect on desktop websites.

How about setting the font to Extra Large, is that meant to work?

As well, have you heard of any plans to implement zoom & reflow on mobile?

Resizing text will work on 'desktop' style pages. There are not any plans to implement reflow on zoom.
