Reader View Icon Not Showing Up On Tablet
I'm trying to read an article on my tablet and i use Reader View, but the icon isn't showing up. I've tried changing whether the site is in desktop mode or mobile mode and it doesn't make a difference. But I know the article is compatible because the reader view icon shows up when i open the article on my laptop. If it didn't give me a massive headache to read on my laptop, I'd just do that, but the entire reason i got the tablet was for college reading assignments. Which I can't do. Because Reader View isn't working and the font on the article is really hard for me to read without it.

Can you post the URL of this article? Is it publicly available?
Since Reader View works for the same article on your laptop, the article itself is likely compatible. Firefox for Android may simply not be detecting the page as Reader View-compatible.
Try these steps:
Update Firefox for Android to the latest version. Reload the page and try opening the article in a new tab. Clear the site data/cache for that website and try again. Test Reader View on another article from the same website. If Reader View works on other articles but not this one, the issue is likely related to how that particular page is structured.
If the problem continues, posting the article URL would help determine why Firefox for Android isn't detecting it as a Reader View page.
