6 jierren lyn pleatstThank you for the feedback.
TLDR; For users that are happy with the built in Reader Mode, there is no need to use this extension.
This extension was first created in 2012 when there was no built in Reader Mode in Firefox.
Once Reader Mode was introduced in Firefox, for a while the listing description of this extension encouraged readers to first try the builtin Reader Mode and use this extension only if/when the user is not satisfied with Reader Mode.
Reader Mode works on on web pages that have an "article" tag (to the best of my knowledge) -- it is not enabled on pages that don't have an article tag. This extension works on pages even without an article tag.
There are always some pages where this extension does a better job that Reader Mode; and the converse also holds true.
Here are some of the additional features that are available that some users like:
(1) Finer ability to customize fonts, font size, reading width, background color etc.
(2) Ability to save pages locally for offline reading (and to add annotations/notes to offline articles); export/import such pages (as opposed to using an online service like Pocket)
(3) "Continuous browsing mode" -- when in the transformed view, clicking on a link will automatically take you to the transformed version of the page referred to in the link
Refer to the extension listing for more features. - Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch kyleh, 6 jierren lyn

6 jierren lyn pleatstThank you for pointing out this problem! I forgot about the icon displayed in the context menu.
I looked into the documentation and the icon is being picked up from a default icon value that is specified in a manifest file (packaged along with the extension).
However, I am unable to find any programming API that allows me to change the context menu icon (the documentation indicates that only icons for the sub-menus of the main context menu entry can have customizable icons). I will continue to look into this, in case I've missed something.- Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch prempatel8, 6 jierren lynWorks very well, clean interface, just one request, I wish there was a option to keep the images along with the article, sometimes a article is describing a diagram and that images is necessary to read the article.
- Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch zedux, 7 jierren lynThe reader is probably the best for Firefox, but it didn´t identify the encoding of a page and the characters became messed. For example: http://www.planalto.gov.br/CCIVIL_03/_Ato2019-2022/2019/Decreto/D10024.htm

Please do let me know if you run into any other problems and I will try to address them. - Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch Firefox-brûker 13893678, 7 jierren lyn
- Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch CapSel, 7 jierren lynAlmost perfect. Some options for the code would be useful (medium.com as an example)
- Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch Firefox-brûker 14594428, 7 jierren lynThis add-on has been great. My one concern is that I am unable to change the font using an Android phone and tablet. I've been trying to change the used font from the default to Times New Roman. The changes take effect on the desktop-based add-ons, but my one reservation is Android. Overall, amazing app.

- Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch Firefox-brûker 14039112, 8 jierren lynLike this and seems like potential addons. The problem is when i go to some news portal, the image size did not fit my screen. The image are the summary of the news.

- Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch TommyTek, 8 jierren lynDoes the job and works reliably. Easy to use - click on icon to enter and exit. No 3-finger salutes on the keyboard or getting stuck in reader mode requiring a total refresh of the page.
Operation is MUCH more predictable than the "more popular" reader that's just named "Reader" for FF57+ (which also appears to collect usage data).
All that said, I like the "Enjoy Reading" add-on for the PaleMoon browser a bit better, but give this a try for FF57+. YMMV
