Reader view button not showing on sites compatible with this feature
I was using the reader view to read a couple of online text books from OReilly.com. The URL on one of the books was long, and the reader view button wasn't showing. When I tried to toggle it with ⌥⌘R, that didn't work either. I couldn't find anything in the Firefox menu to activate the reader view. Any similar views?

Pages need to meet a specific layout and paragraphs need to have a specific minimum length to make reader view work, so it isn't guaranteed that it will always work and that all content is visible when you enter reader view mode.
u can also try to prefix with "about:reader?url=" (this may not work if there is a hash (#) in the URL; you can replace the hash with "%23").

Don't worry, not just you : the scammer posts in many threads, and
uses a different name/account every time.
At least I think it's the same scammer.
