924789 - "Open in Reader" option loads the page in background without changing the view

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Reader View, defect, P5)

Description

[Paul Feher]

Aurora 26.0a2 (2013-10-08)
Nightly 27.0a1 (2013-10-08)
Device:LG Optimus 4x (Android 4.1.4) 

Steps to reproduce:
1) Add a page to reading list.
2) Load another page(any page).
3) Go to History and long tap on the page which is in your reading list.
4) From context menu tap the "Open in Reader" option.

Expected:
The page should load (in reader mode) like any other page from History. The view should be switched to the loaded page.

Actual:
The page is loaded in background, no other notifications are present and the view remains in the History tab. You can access the page only after dismissing the about:home screen.

NOTE:This is only reproducible on Nightly and Aurora builds not on Beta 25.0b6.

I was able to reproduce this. To be clear, this only happens when you open the context menu while in editing mode, not from the regular about:home.

I found that we did open the reading list article in the current tab as expected, so it seems the issue is just that we're not dismissing editing mode when we should.
