I am testing a site and cannot get any response in FF mobile if I change the text size in Settings/Display/Text size. The text just stays the same size regardless of if I set small or extra large.

The site will zoom 'text only' in FF desktop and also does so in all other browsers I have tested (including mobiles) that have this type of facility. I therefore think it is unlikely to be the design of the site.

I know it is possible to double tap and increase the level of page zoom but as FF mobile has a text size option in its menu I would like t be able to test it.

I have the problem with both android 4.2 and 4.4 and my browser is up to date.

Thanks.

The text size only inflated for sites that are 'desktop' sites. For the full gritty details see http://www.jwir3.com/blog/2012/07/30/font-inflation-fennec-and-you/

Thank you, interesting article.

Preumably the browser determines that on my site further font inflation in not appropriate, probably due to container dimensions?

I will need to read the article several times for a full grasp. Thanks.

The main thing is setting a meta viewport element on your page.

Mine is <meta name="viewport" content="width=800" />.

A fixed width works best in this instance.
