User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Fedora; Linux x86_64; rv:74.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/74.0
Steps to reproduce:
Type 'about:reader?url='${my url...} to load a local filesystem html file in Reader View mode.
Eg. I have a file '/tmp/t.html' so I type into the location bar :
'about:reader?url=file%3A%2F%2Ftmp%2Ft.html
.
Actual results:
A blank page is displayed.
Expected results:
The /tmp/t.html file should have been displayed in Reader View mode.
When I replace 'file:' with 'http:' or 'https:' in an URL which serves a copy of the same file , the
file is displayed in Reader View mode - why doesn't it work for 'file:' URLs ?
Please could Mozilla in future display 'file:' URLs in Reader View ?
These are files for which the Reader View icon is not displayed automatically in the location bar.
