RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1166829

People

Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:77.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/77.0

Steps to reproduce:

I have download a webpage so I can read it while offline. I also created a simple html page with a few divs and paragraphs to test reader mode with.

Actual results:

Reader mode did not show up or work. I even tried the addon "Toggle Reader View" and manually adding about:reader?url= before the url to my local file, but the addon does nothing and prepending the url leads to a blank page.

Expected results:

Reader mode should show up and work for local files.
