Confirmed, scrolling is not possible on the page in comment 1.

Looks like most of the page is in an <iframe>.

On the Android 2.3.x stock browser, the iframe expands to its content height and the entire page scrolls fine.

On Firefox Beta, the iframe is sized just taller than the screen; I can pan it but after a bit it starts showing black over most of its contents.

On Firefox Nightly, the iframe is sized just taller than the screen, but can't be panned. The entire document pans, but since the entire document is only slightly taller than the screen you can't get farther down in the document.

This is a duplicate of bug #703573 in that case. Fix coming soon-ish.

I don't know if we'd want some kind of special js for expanding iframes like this, as the scrolling performance will not be good...
