User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:32.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/32.0 (Beta/Release) Build ID: 20140714004001 Steps to reproduce: Tried reading (Kindle app, web site, whatever) in a hotel, lying down. Phone is in horizontal/"landscape" orientation, but .. so am I. Actual results: Phone thinks it's a great idea to rotate the content. Expected results: I should have a simple button (Android offers a quick setting for that, similar to 'wifi off' et al) to prevent all orientation changes. That _doesn't_ affect applications that only support landscape or portrait, but applications that support both are not reacting to device rotation changes anymore. Handy in lots of situations and I don't see a way to do that in FxOs.
