White Flash while in Read Mode

Been noticing this problem lately, but whenever I'm reading a webpage in Reader Mode, occasionally the screen will flash to a blank, white screen, before reloading and going back to normal. It's almost as if the phone has taken a screenshot, but I've done nothing to cause that, and the usual editing commands that come up after a screenshot does not appear. It's not super annoying (like when the Reader Mode doesn't work at all), but it is jarring when you're in the middle of reading a story and suddenly everything goes blank.

Has anyone run into this issue before? Is there a known fix for it?

Hi

I have not heard of this issue before.

So that we can look into this further, what version number of Firefox for Android are you using, which version if Android is installed on your device and do you have an example of a website that we could try?
