I have a RSS software where I can set to read articles in an external webbrowser and I would like to know if it's possible to use a parameter to read the article directly in reader mode. ex: "firefox.exe -readermode http://www.myarticle.com/content.html"

And optionally, Is it possible to force readermode for some domains ? Like www.lemonde.fr ?

Thanks a lot !

You can go directly to reader mode using a url like this:

about:reader?url=http://example.com

(If the reader mode can't detect any content, it will redirect back to the normal version of the page).
