Reader View ignores the HTML tag <base>, so links having a relative path are prefixed with current path (in address bar) rather than the path specified in the <base> tag.

Build ID: 20150630154324

Steps to reproduce:

Visit website www.software-quality.se/en/
Click the Reader View icon (in address bar)
Click any of the three links at the bottom of the page, for example "Software Quality Assurance".


Actual results:

Page "Requested page is missing" is displayed.
This is because the Firefox browser tries to navigate user to
http://www.software-quality.se/en/en/services/software-quality-assurance
, which is an non-existing path. Note that "en/" in the path is duplicated.

The failure occurs only when in Reader View.





Expected results:

The Firefox browser should instead have navigated me to
http://www.software-quality.se/en/services/software-quality-assurance, which it would have if it had not ignored the base path as specified in the <base> tag.
