I've noticed lately that if I share a link to the reading list (especially from the twitter app), when I go to view that in Firefox, there is no snippet of text from the link in the reading list, and when I tap on the item to load it, I get a page with the reading list controls showing the t.co URL in the URL bar, and the network activity indicator in the iOS top bar spins indefinitely. I can only get the content (in non-reading mode) by tapping the URL bar and hitting "go" (which causes the page to reload entirely).

I *would* suspect this has something to do with the t.co redirects, but I also have a direct URL in my reading list that exhibits the same behavior. (I don't remember where I shared that URL from, perhaps safari?)

Reopening this. We need to investigate this. It may be related to bug 1197399 or may be a separate issue.

Sharing a page from a different app to reading list results in a very different process (we run the readability code in a different webview, not connected to any of the delegates on which we made changes for bug 1197399) - it is simpler so maybe also easier to debug.
File separate bugs?

I filed a new bug for the first issue to which I will dupe this bug. Will file a second bug for the other issue mentioned.
