I can't reproduce (tested on 149 beta on Windows but nothing relating to reader mode has changed in a while). I see a reader mode icon and it works. Can you doublecheck a clean profile? If that works, and you're still reproducing this in your main Firefox profile, does it reproduce in troubleshoot mode?

Also, to confirm, are you definitely seeing this on Firefox on Windows as suggested by the user agent string in comment 0, not (e.g. ) on Android or iOS or similar?

Sorry, meant to request information for comment #3

No idea why, but reader.parse-on-load.enabled was set to false.
