Description
I use Firefox on Android as my main browser and every time I follow a link from Twitter to the React docs, I inevitably can't read them without then copying the link in to Chrome because body has overflow-x: hidden and the .gatsby-highlight code samples don't wrap like they do in other browsers.
An example, broken page is https://reactjs.org/docs/add-react-to-a-website.html
This issue can also be reproduced in desktop Firefox:

Personally, I don't think that code samples should wrap and they should have their own horizontal scroll, but I'll leave it up to you which you think is the best course of action. Regardless, I'd be happy to try and fix it, whichever solution you decide on.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the example page in Firefox on Android or desktop, then inspect the styles for body overflow-x and the .gatsby-highlight code samples. Done means the documentation page remains readable on mobile while code samples either wrap or provide their own horizontal scrolling.
