I have Firefox 29 installed and I added the zoom to the new menu area.

When I hit the plus or minus signs the percent doesn't change, but the it is causing the page content to get smaller or larger.

hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour while you launch firefox in safe mode once?

Use Ctrl + ("+" sign) for zooming in and Ctrl + ("-" sign) for zooming out .

Thanks that works.

But more to the point. The plus/minus do not appear to change the percentage in the pop out menu in the upper right.

Since this relates to Firefox 29 and appears to be related to the new layout, should it be reported as a bug?

I saved an image of the controls I am referring too.

Thanks...

It appears as though this extension is blocking the new zoom control: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/

After safe mode worked, I disabled that extension only and the problem was resolved also.

ok thanks for reporting back with those findings - at the bottom of the addon's site you have mentioned under "Developer's comment", the author of the extension also seems to acknowledge that the it currently has issues with firefox 29 and is recommending to use https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nosquint as an alternative.
