Hmm...I wonder if this is a font inflation bug or facebook's fault for not rendering on a small resolution device.

Scott - What do you think?

Well, it's probably unlikely that it's a font inflation bug, given that the output is so different on the two devices (font inflation should be consistent across B2G and Firefox for Android). Additionally, this appears to be a site optimized for mobile, which would disable font inflation anyway (unless the meta viewport checks are inconsistent across B2G and Firefox for Android, which could very well be the case).

However, the above assumes that the font inflation settings are the same for the two devices. 

Sync, in the about:config menu in the browser on B2G and Firefox for Android, could you check to see if the font.size.inflation.* preferences are the same on the two devices? 

If they are, then, from what I can tell, it doesn't seem like a font inflation problem.

B2G doesn't have a concept of about:config. You would need to pull out the prefs.js from the device and push updates.

On B2G users don't modify the prefs.js unless they've explicitly stated in the bug, so I doubt the user modified the preferences on the device (it's quite rare to see happen unless someone says it).

I think that confirms this is a tech evangelism bug.

Fixed by Facebook engineering. Works for me on a Keon.
