Firefox for Android

Steps to reproduce:

Using stock, unrooted Nexus 4 with Lollipop 5.1.1 (latest 5.1.1 stagefright OTA fix). Same bug present in both versions 39 and 40 of Firefox for Android.


Settings > Display > Text size

Change the setting to any text size. Larger or smaller. None of the different text size settings actually change the text size of anything.


Actual results:

Changing the text size setting has no effect on the size of text displayed on any website nor in Firefox's menus.


Expected results:

Selecting a smaller text size setting should cause the text of websites and Firefox's menus to appear smaller.

Selecting a larger text size setting should cause the text of websites and Firefox's menus to appear larger.
