User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.13; rv:61.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/61.0 Build ID: 20180312134431 Steps to reproduce: 1. load CNET article like https://www.cnet.com/news/elon-musk-wants-to-preserve-humanity-in-space/ 2. note author (in this case Erin Carson) 3. enter reader view Actual results: Author/byline changes to Jessica Dolcourt. This happens with other pages I tried, too. This may or may not be the same thing as this bug from 2015: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1144407 Expected results: author/byline stays Erin Carson.
Gijs, can this be marked as a duplicate of bug 1144407? Or should it be kept separate because the result is the same, but the structure is different? Line 599: <div class="profileInfo"> <a rel="author" aria-label="Erin Carson author page" class="author" href="https://www.cnet.com/profiles/erin.carson.tr/"> <span>Erin Carson</span> </a> </div> Line 936: <span class="author">by <a rel="author" href="/profiles/j-do/"> Jessica Dolcourt </a> </span> </span>

It can stay separate for now. Off-hand I don't know if we can apply similar fixes or not.
