Zoom doesn't always work on Android but it does with the built-in browser

Some web sites can be zoomed by double tap or pinching, but some cannot (try this one: www.sandcmills.co.uk/weather).

Zooming works fine for this site and others using the Android's built-in browser but not with FF4.

This means that the drop down menus are too small to read and so are unusable.

On the built-in browser they can still be used without zooming by using the scroll wheel to get precise positioning for a click, but the scroll wheel seems to do nothing in FF4.

Thanks for the report. This is a bug in Firefox which we are working to fix in an upcoming version. For details, see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=645756
