Firefox 50.0 just automatically installed itself. Previously, I had the Reader View, that I often use, available but now I cannot locate Reader View anywhere. How do I find Reader View in Firefox 50.0?

When you are on a page that Firefox understand how to display in reader view, a little "book" icon should appear toward the right end of the address bar. Are there sites where you used to use reader mode before where it no longer appears?
