User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:49.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/49.0 Build ID: 20160916101415 Steps to reproduce: I entered read-mode and tested the Firefox's screen reader. Actual results: I noticed that it is saying "# 39" several times, so I read the texts on the screen and found out that it is the ' character. Example, the word "that's" - is read by the screen reader as "that # 39 s (that hashtag thirty nine s)" Expected results: It should read the word as it is, with the apostrophe ('). that's = that's it's = it's.
