RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1656612

Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:91.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/91.0

Steps to reproduce:

Visit any website.
Zoom in using the macbook trackpad.

Actual results:

Zooming works as expected but the zoom factor isn't displayed in the url bar as it used to. I can activate the zoom widget for the toolbar where the zoom factor is constantly shown but even there it is not updated when using pinch to zoom. Zooming using cmd+mouse wheel does update this indicator.

Expected results:

  1. When zooming in or out (zoom factor not being 100%), there should be an indicator for that in the url bar as it used to.
  2. The zoom widget should also pick up zooming using pinch to zoom.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Address Bar' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

Component: Untriaged → Address Bar

Addit

Correction: Point 1 is only about pinch to zoom, the indicator is displayed when using different methods of zooming.

As you mentioned, there are different methods of zooming. The type of zoom displayed in the address bar reflows the page: text gets bigger and elements shift around. Pinch to zoom does not reflow the page, but just makes whatever you're looking at appear bigger. You can do both kinds of zoom at the same time, so we'd need two different kinds of zoom indicators.

Component: Address Bar → Panning and Zooming
Product: Firefox → Core

Thanks. We have bug 1656612 on file for adding an additional zoom indicator for the pinch-zoom level, though last I checked UX was leaning against this.
