I don't have many problems with Firefox desktop, but in particular Firefox on Android (and Chrome to some degree as well) is increasingly a nightmare with news pages. As I'm scrolling and reading, the content jumps around as reflows occur when e.g. an embedded ad or video renders and is squeezed into the content. Instead of rendering the complete page with holes for this embedded content to eventually appear, Firefox seems to render a compact page, and then over the course of literally 2 or 3 minutes, it one by one inserts that content, causing reflow, and unprompted scrolling. So I'm reading and then the shit I'm reading vanishes and I have to scroll to go find it, start reading again, and then FUCK it just happened again, rescroll to read it, and FUCK FUCK FUCK it happened again!

- cmurf 9y agoIt helps a ton. But you have to cancel the loading of the page to get that icon. And many of the pages I'm arriving at will do their own reload when I click cancel, so it can be a juggling act to cancel, and in a brief window of opportunity click on the reader view icon before the reload is triggered.
- abrowne 9y agoYes, it's not perfect. The worst is when the reader icon doesn't respond, so you tap again, only to have it enter then exit reader mode in succession.
