- Rated 4 out of 5by DarkFalcon, 4 years agoI know you can force the Reader Mode via About:config, however I like being able to distinguish which pages Firefox "supports" reader mode, vs when it needs to be forced.
The only change I would suggest, I don't know if the addon keeps a state recorded, but I keep finding myself pushing the addon button to try exit reading mode - since I used the button to enter reading mode, only for nothing to happen and I have to click the traditional reading mode button to exit. I know I will probably learn not to do this "wrong behavior", but I would like the addon button to Enter/Exit reading mode, it just seems more intuitive. The button's hover text does say "Toggle Reader View" after all, and not "Turn on Reader View", so I would expect it to actually toggle :DDeveloper response
posted 4 years agoSounds reasonable! I'm kinda busy in the moment but will look into it when time allows. In the meantime I gladly accept pull requests at https://gitlab.com/fkohrt/activate-reader-view - Rated 2 out of 5by Jiří Macich ml., 4 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by QuantumDrone, 5 years agoWorks perfectly even when changing Firefox's about:config setting "reader.parse-on-load.force-enabled" to true didn't work.
Thank you! - Rated 5 out of 5by Владимир Трубачёв, 5 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15037318, 5 years agoTo the developer:
The icon for this addon is next to invisible on my top right where it is located. Its color is a faint grey. In order to have it visible you need to put it in white instead.
Thanks to consider solving this icon issue.
Good job, now I can see it much better.Developer response
posted 5 years agoThe background color of the icon was transparent, which made it hard to distinguish the contours on Firefox' grey user interface. As of version 0.1.2, the icon's background is white, thanks for the suggestion! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15690611, 5 years agoMy original Reader View simply disappeared; this restored the function perfectly. Many thanks.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12776882, 5 years agoHat funktioniert, allerdings bin ich darauf gestoßen, dass Firefox unter about:config den Wert reader.parse-on-load.force-enabled anbietet - wenn man diesen auf true setzt, erscheint das Symbol auch immer und die Erweiterung wird obsolet. Trotzdem 5 Sterne, weil es so ging wie gewollt.

posted 5 years agoDanke für den Hinweis, ich habe die Add-on-Beschreibung ergänzt! - Rated 5 out of 5by Andre Bell, 5 years agoA number of sites load their pages with tons of videos, self loading audio podcasts, and boatloads of images that it makes reading the content unbearable. Your add-on instantly toggles reader view for me with a simple click. It is working. Thx

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 15195116, 5 years agoDoes not seem to work for mobile android use. Nothing happens when you click the "toggle reader view" button, even though it works when you manually add about:reader?url=
- Rated 5 out of 5by cfabbro, 5 years agoI can't live without this add-on, so thanks for getting this working again. Much appreciated!
