hi.
I m using Firefox 24 beta on nexus 7
it was working well until I upgraded to the latest beta.
then the autofit text stopped working when zooming in, so I have to scroll right and left to continue reading.

any help?

hello, unfortunately the reflow of text now only works when you double-tap on a portion of text (and when the feature is enabled under settings). this has been an intentional change in firefox 24 for android.

hello. thanks for your response.

I uninstalled v.24 and went back to v.23. text reflow is essential for readability on small screens... for me at least. thanks Philipp for your help

Hi,

Double tap zooming doesn't work well in Nightly build. It doesn't zoom in and doesn't consider the font size selected in options menu.

Philipp, do you have any idea why they abandoned the pinch to reflow feature that chrome, opera and dolphin still have ? I read the bugtrack discussion but don't understand clearly... Thanks for your help
