Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1154295

(Toolkit :: Reader Mode, defect)

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:50.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/50.0
Build ID: 20160907004009

Steps to reproduce:

* Visited a page which is served with a Content-Type of text/plain such as https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Storyyeller/Krakatau/master/Documentation/assembler.txt

* Click the "Reader View" button in the URL bar

* Confirmed that "Sans Serif" was selected in the font-type-buttons reader-popup

* Looked at the document


Actual results:

* The text was rendered with a monospaced font, maybe due to the specificity of the "font-family: -moz-fixed;" rule from the browser's styles vs the "font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;" on body.sans-serif.


Expected results:

* The text should've been rendered with the selected font, in my opinion.

I get similar results in 50.1.0 in MacOS. What does it take to confirm a bug?

This is because Firefox renders pages with text content in them like this: <pre>The contents of the file</pre> 

This doesn't get removed by Readability.js apparently and then gets put into the reader mode display.
