I've never heard of reader mode so I had to google it. It seems you use |
| 19 |
a binary package since you mentioned it being a Gentoo package. I could |
| 20 |
be mistaken on that. I compile from source with the following USE flags. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
[ebuild R ~] www-client/firefox-67.0.4::gentoo USE="dbus |
| 23 |
gmp-autoupdate screenshot startup-notification system-av1 |
| 24 |
system-harfbuzz system-icu system-jpeg system-sqlite system-webp |
| 25 |
-bindist -clang -custom-cflags -custom-optimization -debug -eme-free |
| 26 |
-geckodriver -hardened -hwaccel -jack -lto (-neon) -pgo -pulseaudio |
| 27 |
(-selinux) -system-libevent -system-libvpx -test -wayland -wifi" |

If the thinking is that the binary build is causing this, I'd say that |
| 30 |
is not the case. I seem to have the same key shortcuts for both items |
| 31 |
as you have here as well. Since I have several different profiles for |
| 32 |
my Firefox, including one that I just use to test things with, I started |
| 33 |
it and tested it. The problem here is that something else KDE related |
| 34 |
has that same shortcut and it catches it before Firefox does. While I |
| 35 |
can't duplicate what you get, I suspect if I could find and get rid of |
| 36 |
whatever that is here, Firefox would behave the same as yours since both |
| 37 |
have that same shortcut setting which appears to be a default and I |
| 38 |
can't find a way to change it. There could be a way in about:config but |
| 39 |
I try not to mess with that to much. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
While I can't completely duplicate it, I can confirm that the shortcut |
| 42 |
is set the same way as yours even when compiled from source. It would |
| 43 |
seem that it is a Firefox issue where one person doing the restart |
| 44 |
wasn't aware that the person doing the reader view was already using |
| 45 |
that shortcut. May want to head over to Firefox with a can of Raid. |
| 46 |
There's a bug to kill. ;-) |

Hope that helps, a little at least. |
