[Valentin Gosu [:valentin] (he/him)]

STR:

1. Visit https://digital.tnconservationist.org/publication/?i=663361&article_id=3697028&view=articleBrowser
2. Press reader-mode button
3. Nothing happens

Note TypeError: can't access property "url", message.data is null AboutReaderParent.sys.mjs:94:9 message in browser console.
AboutReaderParent.receiveMessage

First discovered on Fenix, but happens on desktop too.
I tried using mozregression, and also reproduced on Firefox 110, so it's not a recent regression.

This appears to be one of those cases where Readability is reporting that the page is probably readable, but after parsing the document, we get nothing out of it.

I think we need to move this into the Readability library issue list. Filed https://github.com/mozilla/readability/issues/964.
