Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Websites Graveyard :: blog.mozilla.org, defect)

Description

[[e-mail]]

Web page or screen you were on when you saw the issue: 
Official Mozilla Blog (blog.mozilla.org)

Steps to reproduce:
1. blog.mozilla.org
2. 
3. 

What you expected: 
I expected the page to do either of two things:
1.  automatically scale to show the entire width of the page
2.  auto scale to show only the content (and not the side categories)

as it is I see only a small section of the page.

The page has a meta-viewport tag with width=device-width.

Comment 2

We should probably fix it.

Comment 3

[Matt Brubeck (:mbrubeck)]

This can be fixed just by removing the <meta name="viewport"> element from the blog.mozilla.org pages.

This is an old bug so may have been referring to an older theme or maybe a rendering bug in an older mobile browser, I'm not sure which. The current blog theme, although it still has a <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"> tag, uses responsive CSS to fit the layout to the viewport width in all the browsers I've been able to test with.
