i agree, i should have stayed as a extension only. the chances of me using it is ZERO . Mozilla should have done a Poll or something like that to see how much the feature wouyld be used . its the same ith that HELLO crap. i wont use it.

@ WLS - No need for you to be sorry, Mozilla devs should be,
as they're the ones who implant this feature which probably no one on desktops will use, except miss clicks... ](*,)

Tired of constant Firefox UI changes? XUL extensions are not working anymore? Try SeaMonkey, Waterfox Classic, Pale Moon.

Probably about a billion % more than we care about your constant whining

I don't understand how you guys are complaining about this? To me it seems like a pretty darn useful feature, especially now that web designers have gone all insane blotto with crazy web fonts and making everything either HUGE BIG orteeny tiny. And let's not forgot the weird color combinations. And thanks to Apple et al, we can no longer change fonts from within the browser or using a blanket CSS statement because that breaks basic navigation via "font icons" #-o Heck, even the BBC which is often on the forefront of tasteful design has fallen prey to the race to the bottom mentality.

Not that "Reader" is IMO is a very good implementation as it's slow, fails on complex sites, and strips out important context and navigation. But this is exactly the kind of thing that would be a great addition if it actually worked. ;)
Tip of the day: If it has "toolbar" in the name, it's crap.

I agree, this is one of the few late features that I find actually useful, and long overdue too...
Many websites appear to take extra steps to make the actual content unreadable, some apparently like to kill your eyes with black backgrounds...this feature straightens things up.
Well, at least when it works.
