Steps to reproduce:
In about:config set
reader.parse-on-load.force-enabled true
Actual results:
At most sites (e.g. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org) neither reader icon appears nor does F9 switch to reader mode.
Expected results:
At all sites the reader icon should appear and F9 switches to reader mode.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Toolkit::Reader Mode' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

reader.parse-on-load.force-enabled does not force the Reader Mode button to be displayed. Instead, it ensures that the Readability library attempts to parse every page, regardless of whether the machine is considered "low memory". Interestingly, the low memory checks were removed in bug 1369327, so I don't think this pref has much value anymore.
I'm going to transmute the bug to remove the pref since it's purpose is pretty confusing.
