This is a problem with the layout of the page – I can zoom out beyond the content using pinch gestures.

Chrome's behavior diverges, however: it doesn't allow you to zoom out further but allows you scroll outside of the content to the right. I'm guessing Chrome does not let you zoom out further than the initial viewport on mobile-centric pages.

Action items:
  * Do we want to match Chrome's behavior?
  * We should fix the layout of planet.mozilla.org.

If we decide to do both, we should file a new bug and move this one to the proper component for the other bug. /me leaves it to triage

I don't think the layout is actually broken here. Oftentimes articles on planet include some code samples which are nowrap, and so results in a very wide page. On desktop this just results in horizontal scrolling and on fennec it results in being able to zoom out a lot. I can no longer reproduce this issue on planet, presumably because the content has changed since this bug was filed. If you can still repro please save a copy of the page and attach it to this bug. Then try loading it in desktop and see if it is horizontally scrollable.

via triage: Chrome's behavior is reflow on zoom which we don't support – WONTFIX.
