Could be a viewport meta tag issue. Let's take a look.

Comment 2

[Matt Brubeck (:mbrubeck)]

When you load this page in Fennec for Android, it redirects to http://m.gmx.de and is served with no meta viewport tag.

If you change Fennec's user agent to match the stock Android browser, then m.gmx.de is served *with* a meta viewport tag, and is rendered correctly.  If GMX changes their code to serve the same markup to Fennec that it does to Android, it should work fine.

Moving to Tech Evangelism and assigning to Thomas for now.  (Feel free to unassign/reassign.)

GMX has a new look. Does this bug still exist?
