screenreader reads all pages of a website except the home page

the Firefox 117.0 reading function is displayed in a website in all pages except the 1st page (home page). The problem does not exist with other browsers such as Chrome or Edge. (windows 11 and 10) What can be a possible cause? is there anything to configurate? thanks for your answers!

What homepage do you mean? Is this about the Firefox Home page with the tiles as your screen reader might not be able to access this page ?

Oh sorry, this is a separate website that is currently under development (wordpress, Divi) and not public. But as I said, when you call up the website, the icon for reading view is not displayed, as soon as you call up a subpage, it is displayed. And the problem only exists with Firefox.

"Reader View" (about:reader?url=) is only available on webpages that meet certain conditions like a specific layout. There is a minimum character count for containing elements that show in Reader mode, so you may not see all the text if the page isn't designed to be used with Firefox Reader mode.

I notice that you marked by above reply as unhelpful.

I'm sure that there are more pages that do not have a visible the "Reader View" button. That is how reader view works in Firefox and if you rely on reader view for the screen reader then maybe look for a workaround for pages that lack this button.
