Can't disable/remove reader button from address bar in Firefox nightly on Android

The subject field basically. There is a button in the address field on some sites and it's very annoying to accidentally press the toggle now and again. I tried disabling it via about:config but no dice.

Hi

Thank you for helping test the Nightly version of Firefox for Android

I recommend that your file a bug so that our developers can look into this. See File a bug report or feature request for Mozilla products for details.

On desktop, you can set this pref reader.parse-on-load.enabled = false. Did you try this as Nightly supports about:config ?

Yes, that is what I meant by trying to disable it in about:config. I submitted this as a bug over at the bugzilla.
