On: Firefox: We Don't Need Google's Money Any More

My favorite feature is the reader view (does not always work but if it does it shows a little book in the URL bar), that removes all clutter and interstitials and just shows the main text body of the page in large enough automatically wrapped text.

Reader View is unfortunately no longer being maintained since Mozilla decided to integrate Pocket. It bugs me since I find Firefox's Reader View actually does a better job than Pocket in most cases of stripping out the clutter.

Where did you hear this?

Pocket were added as it were easier than implementing their own Reading List, although Pocket will be shipped as a default extension in the future rather than being integrated. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1215694

You sure you're not confusing Reading List and Reader View? Work on Reader View is still happening in bugs such as this one: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1175536

You can force the page to reader view by adding it to your reading list.
