1942777 - Using reader mode on two different articles in sequence scrolls the second one to the position the first one was in

Status: NEW

(Toolkit :: Reader Mode, defect, P3)

Description

[Gabriele Svelto [:gsvelto]]

STR:

1. On Firefox for Android browse to an article that is longer than a single page such as this one
2. Enter reader mode
3. Scroll down to the middle of the article
4. Exit reader mode
5. Browse to another article such as this one
6. Enter reader mode

Once in reader mode, the second article will have been scrolled down to the middle, basically to the position one had scrolled to in the first article. The expected behavior would be for the second article to appear from the top. I suppose some state is carried over from the first article when entering reader mode.

This bug only seems to affect Firefox for Android, in desktop Firefox this works correctly.

Hey pollymce,

Is this the right place for an Android-only reader mode bug?
