Expected results: The text size should have become larger.

I think this is intentional. Make lots of noise in bug 1127441 if you don't like it and maybe the Powers That Be will reconsider. You can also enable the pref manually (see that bug) to get it working locally.

This works as expected on Galaxy S3 and a Droid Razr but does not work as expected on a Galaxy S5. Our intention was to disable it by default but still allow the settings to work. :-/

pref("font.size.inflation.minTwips", 120) Is that the pref that is supposed to enable it? On my HTC One M8 it doesn't work either.

Yes, suspect that this is display resolution dependent.

Any thoughts on how to get the desired behavior here? From my limited testing it seems like high DPI devices and/or devices with desktop like resolutions setting font.size.inflation.minTwips to 0 as the default seems to completely disable font inflation. The plan was to disable by default and allow users to use settings to re-enable.

Nope, no idea why this would be DPI-specific. I also looked around in the code and don't see why the settings pane would not update the pref. Did you try changing the pref via about:config vs the settings pane to see if there was any difference?

Kats, I think the config setting is not working as intended; changing the pref to pref("font.size.inflation.minTwips", 120) is supposed to enable the font inflation, but it appears on high dpi screens it does not work as intended.

Maybe it was something else that regressed this then. Can we get a regression window?

Hello, I've performed a regression up until 2013-02-28 and the issue was still reproducible on a Prestigio (Android 4.4.2) on higher android versions the app would just stop running sooner. Any other earlier build would just start and instantly crash. I do not have any other device on which to continue with my regression window. Hope this helps in any way.

This is not a valid issue anymore on Nightly 56 and Beta 55, due to the changes made in Bug 1328868 to the font size setting. All pages are now resized, mobile or non-mobile friendly, including reddit.com. Closing as invalid.
