I'm realizing that I'm not good at understanding Firefox add-ons. The reader view is there, but I'm not sure it's properly installed. When trying to download the extension, I was prevented from installing the current version because ESR-52 Firefox isn't the current one. So I installed the previous version, released in June 2016. Still no luck.

I use it all the time when reading articles in the New York Times. Control plus alt plus R is probably my most used Firefox command. I use flexible web a lot less because of this. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Adrian Spratt Sent: Wednesday, April 11, 2018 9:25 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Firefox reader view The New York Times comes to mind right away as a publication where reading view doesn't work, and I do have the full articles open.

The Economist is the only publisher I've encountered which reader does not read. Adrian, what are some publications which don't format in reader for you? Maybe there is a common thread, like a hard pay wall. For sure, reader does not read truncated articles (continued,read more, etc.) for the most part. It usually in my experience requires a full article for it to open. > -----Original Message----- > From: JAWS-Users-List <[email protected]> On > Behalf Of Dennis Long > Sent: Wednesday, April 11, 2018 5:25 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Firefox reader view > > Reader view will work on almost any article. > > -----Original Message----- > From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] > On Behalf Of Adrian Spratt > Sent: Tuesday, April 10, 2018 3:30 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [JAWS-Users] Firefox reader view > > Hi, Jim.
