(Whiteboard: [reader-mode-readability-algorithm])

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:25.7) Gecko/20151012 Firefox/31.9 PaleMoon/25.7.3
Build ID: 20151012160144

Steps to reproduce:

View this page in Reader Mode:
https://ponyfoo.com/articles/es6-promises-in-depth
(archived: https://web.archive.org/web/20150928184517/http://ponyfoo.com/articles/es6-promises-in-depth)


Actual results:

For the following article, Reader Mode skips the introduction, because it's in a different section tag. The Reader Mode starts at the <blockquote> text.

The, er, parents for the paragraphs look like this:
    html > body#top > main > article > section > section > (p or blockquote or whatever)


Expected results:

The Reader View should have detected that the text in the preceding <section> was also part of the article.

I don't know how the code to detect significant text works, so I can only say something that vague.
Eww, it posted my user agent.

To be clear, I am NOT experiencing this on Pale Moon. This is tested on Firefox 41.0.2.

Patch for Bug 1300697 cannot fix this.
Reader view can be an accessibility tool, so adding a11y.

The access keyword is more appropriate here. An a11y review won't help get this fixed.
Flags: a11y-review?
Keywords: access

It's true that Reader View is useful for a11y, but that's true of Reader View in general, so we don't need to explicitly mark or triage this as such.
