User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:98.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/98.0

Steps to reproduce:

Navigate to https://www.gwern.net/Clippy#day , enable reader-mode via the URL address bar, and look at the flame image. This also applies to the desktop image at the beginning of https://www.gwern.net/Improvements and all of the image testcases in https://www.gwern.net/Lorem#images , so I assume it is a site-wide issue.

Actual results:

The <figcaption> is invisible and not rendered.

Expected results:

The image should have a caption "Artist’s depiction (not to scale)."

The image caption is specified as a standard semantic HTML5 <figcaption> and works flawlessly in regular browsers, and it does work in Chrome's reader-mode (although that is badly broken otherwise).

I attempted to reproduce this with local HTML files using just the <figure> and <figcaption> but could not, so there's something going wrong with the broader context of the page & 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 correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Component: Untriaged → Reader Mode
Product: Firefox → Toolkit

This looks like a Readability.js issue. I've re-filed as an issue against Readability.js's GitHub project at https://github.com/mozilla/readability/issues/743.
