Steps to reproduce:

I started firefox. I opened a html file stored locally on my computer. See attachment for a minimal test file. I clicked on the reader button in urlbar.


Actual results:

Firefox went to a about:reader?url=file:///home/ … URL and immediately forwarded to about:blank. The reader view does not seem to work for this file. There is no output in web inspector console or to stdout/stderr.


Expected results:

about:reader should work for local files too.
Confirmed, Reader mode displays blabk page when the file is loaded locally
