Firefox Community Forum

Reader view continues not to work correctly. Apparently this issue has been occurring unresolved for at least almost two years: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1371897

I'm currently experiencing it with this article which is paywalled but to which I'm signed in: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/1993/02/22/beverly-hills-hotel-paradise-lost

Reader view shows the full non-truncated view when using Firefox for Android or Safari for Mac OS.

I'd rather use Firefox, but I come across multiple such issues using either the desktop or mobile version which is making it increasingly difficult to rely on this browser.

The 'light' font weight option in reader view doesn't seem to work for me. All the other options appear to, including swapping between bold and regular, but light just displays as regular regardless of font style. Main FF font settings are all default as well. Couldn't find any other posts with the same issue. Any ideas? Not a huge issue but it is annoying.

In some pages, redaer view shows the wrong text -- it looks like it picks up text from a hyperlink. An example is this page:

    https://www.britannica.com/biography/Pee-Wee-Russell

where Reader View shows the text from:

    https://www.britannica.com/art/clarinet

(which is linked inside).

I am using Firefox 134.0 on MacOS (Sequoia 15.2)

The reader view is an amazing tool that helps declutter websites and make them easier to read. However, this experience is ruined by having a super bright white background that to my knowledge I can't make black. I tried the setting that disables overriding the colors but it still remains white. Any ideas why that happens and how to change it?
