Hi Barney

You may want to try and add-on such as https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/auto-reader-view/ or https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/automatic-reader-view/.

I hope that this helps.

Ok, I guess I can understand the power of an add-on, but this is something I expect the browser to do fundamentally. I’m trying to switch from Safari, but this is yet another distraction.

Hi,

The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or developers. If you want to leave feedback for developers, you can go to the Firefox Help menu and select Share ideas and feedback…. Alternatively, you can use this link. Your feedback gets collected by a team of people who read it and gather data about the most common issues.

You can also file a bug report or feature request. See File a bug report or feature request for Mozilla products for details.

Sorry, I was just thinking out loud. I have no desire for them to change anything for me. There is too much they would need to change to make Firefox work the way I am used to doing things. In my short time using it, I found nothing compelling to make me want to invest the time to learn new ways.
