I did some further testing based on the issues that @jrgm was having with FF11 on older mobile devices.
So I tried to do just some basic Sign Ins (not even Sign Ups or account creation) using FF 12 and FF13 on Android devices:
1. Android phone running with 2.2 firmware
2. Android table running with 3.2 firmware

Aurora: FF12.0a2 (2012-02-22)
Nightly: FF13.0a1 (2012-02-22)

In both cases, I can load beta.myfavoritebeer.org and click the Sign In button.
After some very interesting screen flashing and other UI/screen artifacts, I do get the diresworb.org/sign_in page.
I can type in login and password.
But the moment I either:
a. select an email to use for sign-in
or
b. click a like (This is not me or Use another email)
I appear to be taken back to the beer site with a "grayed out" Sign In button.
Looking at the URI field, though, it appears I am still actively in diresworb.org/sign_in
If I refresh the page, I am back to the beer site.
I can click on Sign In
I can still see that I have a list of emails to choose from.
But, that is as far as I can get.

Alternatively, I can go to diresworb.org and verify that I am signed in and have a list of emails shown in the Account Manager.
I can sign out from here.
Once I do that, I can start over again at the beer site (not that I will get very far...)
