Next to some web pages' addresses there is a little icon to the right that looks like a book opened to some pages. When pressing this the page changes to a different view. Pressing the Back hardware button will take you back, but I would like to know how if you've changed tabs and read other pages. Thanks for your help.

Hi scottjarrett,

Thanks for this question, this is the new reader mode feature, that enables you to save web pages offline for reading later. There is a new help article that describe it at a high-level here View articles in Reader View on Firefox for Android .

Hope this helps, Michelle
