1803192 - Reader Mode is incomplete until reload

Status: RESOLVED MOVED

(Toolkit :: Reader Mode, defect)

Description

[Claas Augner [:claas]]

Attachment: MDN-WebAssembly-in-Firefox-Reader-view.png

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/WebAssembly
2. Toggle reader view
3. (See attached screenshot.) Notice that the reader view shows only 4 paragraphs each consisting of links only (a very small subset of the actual page).
4. Reload current page (i.e. the reader view)
5. Notice that the reader view now correctly displays the full page.

Tested on:

• Firefox 109 (Nightly) @ Mac OS
• Firefox 109 (Nightly) @ Android

Given this is an issue with the underlying library when run against the JS-modified DOM after pageload, can you report this on github instead? https://github.com/mozilla/readability/issues . You can then resolve this ticket as moved.

(the difference with the reload is that in that case we just XHR the HTML and JS doesn't get a chance to run. Presumably the JS running alters the page in some way that then breaks readability - but that's still an issue with readability, not with Firefox.)
