Especially in android browsers some websites have really big fonts etc. so that very few content can be shown on the screen without scrolling around. To get a better overview of the site, is it in any way possible to zoom out further than the width of a web page? I can pinch zoom out further than the site's width but it will zoom back in again as soon as i let go of the screen. The only alternative at the moment is to rotate the tablet vertically, because then, when zooming out to the site's width, it is of course displayed a lot smaller.

I really wonder that there's not more people that find the inability to zoom out really annoying. okay, android made its start with smartphones where the main focus is zooming in, but still...we got 2k displays in our 10inch tablets and we make no use of that resolution at all...

I'm afraid that this isn't currently possible.

There are a number of desktop Firefox add-ons that will allow default zoom out options. For example Deafult FullZoom Level. It might be worth asking if they plan to bring their add-on to Firefox for Android.

I hope that helps.
