No Reader view on iOS app?
Firefox guidance says the reader view button should be in the address bar. This seems to have been replaced with an ai feature that is not a replacement for reader. No other menu seems to have a reader view option either. Please help as this feature was critical for making webpages accessible.

I believe this feature still exists on my phone. I'm running the most recent version - v143.0.1
I’m on Firefox 143.0.1 (61598). iOS 26 . 14 pro Not there for me
Hi there,
If you touch and hold the Thunderbolt icon instead of tapping you'll enter Reader View as usual. Please see Use Firefox to summarize webpages. It's in the How to Summarize pages section (point 3).
Hope that helps!
I noticed the recent appearance of the lightning bolt on mine as well and went searching through the settings for info on the Reader View. While I found nothing about that specifically, I did find the setting for “Page Summaries” (the lightning bolt). I turned it off as I tend to do for most new AI features until I feel that it has been sufficiently proven safe/stable, non-data sharing, etc.
After that, I noticed that the rectangular page icon for Reader View had returned in the place that the lightning bolt was in the URL bar.
Hope this helps!
That's right @Rosebud. We've updated the View web pages in Reader View article since that to make that clear.
