Reader view doesn't work on many Lifehacker pages/articles. Can something be done to make it work on those pages? Here's an example:

Hi there,

It somehow appears to be fixed now... Could you please check and confirm?

Also, whenever you see this behavior again, feel free to drop the URLs here :)

Hi there,

Thank you very much for bringing that up! I've filed a bug report on Bugzilla, so that the developer team could take a look.

I'll keep you updated.

Thank you, Denys! In the bug report, it looks like these are reversed...?

Actual results: The article content is displayed.

Expected results: The Lifehacker description is displayed.

Oh no. Sorry... I've added a comment to clarify that. Anyway, I guess anyone reading the bug will make it out
