Firefox For Android

Post by Bigaldoc »

I don't know if it's new or I just haven't noticed before, but after installing Fx 10 I saw in the welcome screen that Firefox for Android is available.

So, what the heck, I'm a loyal Fx user, I'll install it. Yeah, sure, now I'm reminded why I don't browse the web on my handheld. I couldn't read anything on that little screen if my life depended on it !!!

I'm sure there's a tap or a key to magnify, but without it, I couldn't even get my Lounge ID and password entered. Forget this one. I'll leave it on but don't plan to use it...

Can you not expand the screen by touching it with two fingers and moving them apart?
With my HTC I can, plus tapping a paragraph, expands that to full screen. And rotating the screen gives me landscape view and therefore larger text.

Thanks, Leif. Rotating on my Samsung keeps the same size.

I tried tapping a section of the screen with no results.

I didn't know about the "two-finger" thing and I'll go and try that now. Thanks...

I just tried the two-finger trick and it DOES zoom in. I managed to get logged on, so I know if push comes to shove, I CAN get here with the handheld.
