Could someone from the webcompat team have a look at this site? Are they doing something with preventdefault or similar to prevent allow zoom to work in Fenix?

Keywords: access

It seems that they are not allowing zoom on their content by using touch-action: pan-y:

  <div id="page" class="feed site features best-of-2023  food" style="touch-action: pan-y;">

If I drop that CSS style using the remote developer tools then I can touch-zoom the page on my phone. Perhaps that needs to be ignored if the user has has always-allow-zoom enabled?

I tested the main Washingtonian page on Firefox for Android 117.0 (Build #2015969571) on Android 13 (Samsung SM-X700 tablet). No problem pinch-zooming. Don't know if that's because the content changed from when this bug was opened.

But I do have this same issue with the entirety of the ABC News site (abcnews.go.com) which uses:

<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no" />

in their header. I have the Allow Zoom option enabled under Accessibility as well. Tested on the most current nightly on Google Play as of 9/3/23 as well, same behavior.

abcnews.go.com also uses the touch-action: pan-y; hack.
