Is there a text view option for reading a web page on Firefox for android (I have a Nexus 7)? I have the google play Readability app but you have to save the web page to the app and then read the page while in the app. I would like to be able to read a web page while at the web page ala Reader on the iPad. Thanks for any info!

You invoke "Readability" from the web page. On the desktop with a toolbar button. On you Android, probably from the "Menu" button that kind of corresponds to the context or right-click menu on your desktop..
