I thought the medium bug 1146666 would have fixed this.  Are you on the latest Nightly?

Still fails to load on the first attempt with Nightly 40.0a1 (2015-04-06)

That's weird that clicking the button a second time makes this work... the logic *should* be the same whenever you click the button (but it's different if you hit the refresh button on a failed about:reader page).

What's the URL you were using to test this?

Works for every article accessed from the medium.com frontpage.
Refresh also succeeds to display the article.

[:Gijs (he/him)]

Yeah, this is clearly not completely fixed yet... :-\

I'll try to look into this later today.

Comment 6

[:Gijs (he/him)]

This is because some url shuffling is going on and so article.url === url fails, and so we show an error. We just need to nuke that check from orbit, but there's an existing bug on that...

Comment 7

[:Gijs (he/him)]

Should be fixed by bug 1147337 now.

I'm no longer seeing this issue on Beta 38.0b6-build1 (20150420134330). Closing.
