I use Firefox Mobile with Android 2.2 on the Notion Ink Adam. Pinch zooming works great on most pages but with every blog powered by wordpress I encoutered this problem (e.g. juancole.com and ironically notionink.wordpress.com).

The pinch gesture just stops working on these pages. I tried disabling JavaScript but that did not help.

The default font size is too small and there is no obvious way too change it essentially rendering Firefox Mobile useless for reading these blogs on my Adam tablet.

The mobile version of this site includes code to disable zooming. If you scroll all the way to the bottom of the page (hint: use two finger to scroll quickly to the top or bottom) and press the "Full Site" or "Regular Theme" link, then you will be able to zoom.

It would be possible to write an add-on to let Firefox ignore the code to disable zooming, but as far as I know this add-on does not exist yet.

You could also try the Bigger Text add-on. You will need to turn off the option to "ignore mobile sites" in the add-on's options.

Thank you! Being able to switch away from the mobile theme is key. Really seems silly that they disable this functionality for the mobile theme. Mobile browsing is pretty much the only time I need to zoom due to the display sizes.

The two finger quick swipe doesn't quite work on the mobile page - works great on the regular one though. On the mobile version I overshoot into grey square matrix vacuum.

The Bigger Text add-on helps to set a decent default text size but its event handling is also affected (no text size switching with double tap) with the mobile theme.
