After upgrading Firefox on my phone yesterday (September 24) and my tablet today the 'icon' for viewing in Reader View is gone!

If I go to preferences and add it to my list I can then get it i reader view from there. What happened?

Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean (Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0) and 5.0.1 Lollipop (Samsung Galaxy S4)

I *LOVE* the Reading view!

Why did it disappear?

you can visit about:config and set reader.parse-on-load.force-enabled to true.

There are also pages that we cannot detect a main body of text. A good test site is http://bbc.co.uk their articles are able to be parsed by Firefox's reader mode.

Thing is, this used to work before upgrading. On Livejournal... why not now? Didn't help to change the config...
