I think the swipe left and swip right ability interferes with the formatting of web page content to fit the screen - can this be fixed?

I have an android HTC EVO (Sprint) w/ firmware version 2.2.

Using the original Google browser I can expand web pages (such as forums) not optimized for mobiles and it re-formats to fit within the right/left screen size no matter the orientation of the device. I can read comfortably left to right and only need to scroll up/down.

Using Firefox 4 Mobile on the same web pages, when expanding the type does get bigger but they do not reformat left/right - they run off the screen, no matter the device orientation. Reading becomes tedious because I have to scroll right/left as well as up/down.

I believe this is related to the swipe left/swipe right design of FFox 4 Mobile.

Is there a fix for this?

If not, I'll have to go back to the original Google browser.

Firefox does have an option to reformat text to fit the screen, but it works a bit different than the built-in browser. For instructions, see this page on Reformatting Text.

This feature is still experimental, and we plan to improve it in future versions.
