Thank you much Siva, That does explain the missing bridge option. A lot of the documentation I looked at included the bridge option in the 'forwarding-options port-mirroring' section, but I am using the vpls option with no success.
I didn't post the mirror interface information as I had nothing configured under it. After my email, I configured it under 'family bridge interface-type access' and added the same vlan-id as the monitor port and I started seeing traffic. However, I'm not sure that this traffic is being forwarded traffic from the firewall filter, but rather traffic on the vlan as if the interface is in promiscuous mode. Makes me concerned as it doesn't seem that I'm seeing all the packets. Also, from the examples and documentation I've read, it doesn't show configuring the mirror port as such.

The CLI displays Layer 2 port-mirroring configurations as family vpls, even for Layer 2 port-mirroring configured as family bridge.
