Hello all,

I was using reader-mode in FF 52, and had the need to "view page source". 
To my surprise what I got was something that didn't even contain the text I 
was reading.

Also, when I dragged the URL to my desktop and tried to again open it this 
morning by dragging the link onto my open browser it refused to do so.

(Looking at the stored link itself it started with "about:reader?url=")


what I want to know is is this normal behaviour (does it still work the same 
way in more recent versions of FF), and if so what is the purpose of it ?

Regards,
Rudy Wieser
