i use android firefox beta constantly. it's great. mostly. the above page, tho, well, perhaps the site maintainers goofed, looks like nearly anywhere i touch the page jumps to another (older) page, thus it's quite challenging to zoom the page and still stay on the page. after numerous times triggering the page jump and returning to the page i did manage to zoom it, but then, i find the same difficulty trying to pan the zoomed page.

i don't think it would be right to just point the finger at the page or the site tho. i've encountered similar, if less severe, difficulty zooming and panning on pages that have a more usual array of links scattered through the text.

i thought best to start with a question, perhaps there's tricks i haven't yet learned...

tho to be honest i am thinking zoom needs work. that some pages are not zoomable is just crazy, but "always zoom" fixes that well enough. but, reflow is sorely missing. have i missed something that brings back reflow? needing to pan back and forth strikes me as something is sorely lacking in useability, notwithstanding poor page layouts, i want the ability to deal with whatever page layout i find, without throwing blame on the page layout, or my eyes.
