User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/38.0.2125.111 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce: Running Android 4.2.2 (Cyanogenmod 10.1) on Samsung Galaxy S2. All news articles on MSN News (http://news.msn.com) are almost unreadable on Firefox: they are too wide for the screen, and zooming out (with double tap or pinch gesture) is not possible. The only way to read is by constantly scrolling left and right for every line of text. I haven't seen that problem on other sites. A typical screenshot is attached.
