Firefox Reader Mode is cutting out sections of forum websites

more options

After a recent update within the past few months, certain websites now have errors when Firefox's Reader Mode is activated. The exact issue is that a large number of the articles / chapters are lost in translation and not presented when in Reader Mode. This is a new issue, as these sites previously worked perfectly fine when Reader Mode was activated before. Also, be aware that this issue occurs on both the desktop and mobile platforms. I don't know if a rollback or update is needed, or id there is there anything I can do about this. Any help would be appreciated.

Three example websites are: https://archiveofourown.org/works/7830346?view_full_work=true https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/taylor-varga-worm-luna-varga.398991/reader/ https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/threads/taylor-varga-worm-luna-varga.32119/reader/

Reader mode only include containers that meet certain conditions (larger than a minimum size and their tag name is part of the include list).

Hi PHSYCODELIC

cor-el is right, Firefox uses Readability.js's algorithms and Readibility.js is a 3rd party library. If this was working for these 3 sample websites before in older versions of Firefox, please file a bug:
