I used do be able to read articles etc. on my samsung note II with the text auto adjusting to fit the screen which was great. But since the last update to version 24 it doesn’t seem to work and i can't find the settings either. If it is intentional from Mozilla that this doesn’t work anymore – Can I go back to an earlier version?

hello, unfortunately the reflow of text now only works when you double-tap on a portion of text (and when the feature is enabled under settings). this has been an intentional change in firefox 24 for android.

Thanks for your answer! I tried adjusting the settings to double tap but I find this new version not to my liking, it was so much smother before. Is there any way for me to go back to the previous version?

I tried this source: http://download.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/releases

But can’t find a version for Android, does anybody know what I could do?

the android versions are within the mobile directory on the server (not firefox). however i would quite strongly discourage you from downgrading just because of this inconvenience, since there are continuous improvements and security fixes in each new version that you'd miss out...

Ok thanks!
