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.

Hello,

You may have seen a post or received a notification regarding support for Firefox with a link to another site. This is a scam and is not an official site to receive support from Mozilla. Please do not click on the link and do not interact by calling any phone numbers or email addresses listed. You are currently posting on the official Mozilla website and will receive assistance here.
