I could not reproduce  this with a Huawei device on Devices Anywhere on latest beta and Nightly (Firefox 17 and 19).

What version of Firefox are you using?

I am using version 16.0 (.1).  I just tried to update from the menu and it says, "No updates available".

Eric, is that (see landscape view) what you are experiencing? Because this is what I get when I rotate it to landscape view. Huawei G300, Android 2.3.6, Firefox 16.0.2

Oskar, I cannot see the images for some reason.  Changing orientation after getting a page you can see that it's trying to render but is just kindof bunching bits of image together.  Reverting orientation resolves the problem.  I can't do a screen print because the phone is not rooted.

I will go back to Firefox when I change Android version.

I just wanted to let you guys know about the situation.

For Firefox 16 yes, not sure for 17 or 18. Will have to try those.

Hi, I've gone to ICS and Firefox Beta - no problems for me now

I can still reproduce it on Firefox 17. If you rotate phone all the time, it happens in portrait mode too, while when you switch to landscape it's okay and vice versa. So I guess that this is the issue with Firefox and screen rotation. Also, maybe it's only Android 2.x

Can you try out Nightly (http://nightly.mozilla.org) and report back?
