The Reader Add On in firefox stopped working, what seems to be the problem? I did re-install but still no success. Any options?

Hi PeteVanderwaal, do you mean this one: Reader?

When I installed that and clicked the "R" button on a page, the following error was recorded in Firefox's Browser Console: 

TypeError: jQuery.browser is undefined

I think it's something the author will need to fix, unfortunately.

Meanwhile, have you tried the built-in Reader View? It doesn't work on every site, but if it's available, you'll see a little book icon in the address bar, toward the right end. More info: Firefox Reader View for clutter-free web pages.
