How to disable all zooming in Firefox mobile

I am trying to get rid of the 300 ms delay for double tab zoom. It works on sites that block zoom, but I would like it to work for all sites. I don't mind not being able to zoom in as I have Firefox, Firefox Beta, and Nightly installed. I assume it would be in the config. I disabled the 300ms delay in Chrome Dev release, which works really well. I don't see the same thing in Firefox though.

Thanks.

Hey, sorry been to busy to try. I just tested around with the config and traced it to ui.zoomedview.disabled and setting it to true. This was on Firefox Beta. It seems to have no ill effects changing it. I also updated Chrome Dev and no longer have the option to disable the lag. Glad I found this.

Thanks.

I am not sure what this is called in Firefox either, but to make tweeks open up about:config and search for "zoom" there is an animation delay that looks promising.
