reader view replaced by page summary in firefox ios 142.1

Firefox on my ipad mini was recently upgraded to 142.1 (60552), and the reader view button in the url bar has been replaced with the page summary lightning bolt.

I did find out how to re-enable reader view: settings -> page summaries and disable "summarize pages". As implemented, page summary is a replacement for reader view

I do not understand why page summary is considered a replacement for reader view. Reader view makes reading a page easier. Page summary makes reading a page optional. These are not equivalent functions. What is even worse is the summary uses (relatively) tiny fonts, and there does not seem to be a way to adjust the font size. The page summary itself needs a reader view!

If page summaries have to exist, it should be a feature along side reader view and not a replacement for reader view. Also, please keep the reader view button on the url barl. I use reader view a lot, and the easy access is very handy.

I agree. Thanks for letting us know how to re-enable reader view. I couldn’t figure it out.

 I don’t mind if Mozilla wants to add the Summary feature, but I should have the option to turn it off and continue to use Reader view. If not, I’ll probably find a different browser for mobile. It’s a key feature for me that differentiates Firefox from others.
