Text is too big when using Firefox on cover screen (Samsung Z Flip 6)

Hello, I have a folding phone, Samsung Z Flip 6. There is a main screen, and another small screen when the phone is folded (called cover screen). Firefox works well when using the main screen. However, when using the cover screen, the text is too big, which leads to a cramped view rendering the browser nearly unusable, because so few information can be displayed.

This problem didn't occur in my earlier phone, Z Flip 5.

Other users of the Z Flip 6 have reported the same problem (based on a few exchanges I've had on the Galaxy Z Flip subreddit).

I have attached 4 pictures: -2 pictures of Firefox on the cover screen of the Z Flip 6 (text is too big) -1 picture of Firefox on the inner screen of the Z Flip 6 (text is fine) -1 picture of Brave browser on the cover screen of the Z Flip 6 (text is fine)

If I go to Firefox accessibility settings and reduce text size by 50%, this results in a good text size on the cover screen, but way too small for the inner screen.

It seems like Firefox scales UP the text size when the screen is scaled DOWN (inner -> cover), which doesn't make sense because when there is less screen space, text should not be bigger because there is even less room for text.

I am a long term Firefox user and I am happy using Firefox on my computers and would prefer to use it on Android instead of Brave browser. But the text size discrepancy is a problem because on a folding phone, you are bound to using both screens (that is the point of a having an outer screen), and I can't use Firefox in ideal conditions.


Thank you for your attention and have a nice day!
