Ok, this is DOM after all.

Hi,

Can the priority of this bug please be increased? I would like to be able to target the stock Android Browser, Mobile Firefox, Chrome for Android, and Mobile Safari with one mobile site, but due to bugs in the stock Android Browser, I need to use non-ideal settings for the viewport meta tag included in the HTML source and later change the viewport settings when I detect that the browser is not the stock Android Browser. However, because of this bug, Mobile Firefox is stuck using the non-ideal viewport settings.

I too would like to see this bug fixed, but in case it is useful to others, here is a workaround for now:  Adding a new <meta name="viewport"> element to the document will cause the viewport to update in Firefox for Android.
