Description
Filing on behalf of MarjaE, originally filed at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2056729.
Steps to reproduce:
Visit https://queercomics.fandom.com/wiki/Constance_Lara_Kent
Visit https://warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Alpharius_Omegon
Can't scroll either page due to non-scrolling background, (anti-)navigation buttons.
Try to view page in Reader View.
Actual results:
Reader View skips "Basic Information" in the former, "Quick Answers" in the latter.
Expected results:
Reader View shouldn't skip "Basic Information" and probably shouldn't skip "Quick Answers".
Firefox should also include better protection against non-scrolling elements, since they're everywhere.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the two Fandom pages and checking the Reader View output for the missing sections. Trace the content extraction entry points that handle those pages, then verify that “Basic Information” and “Quick Answers” are retained without breaking existing extraction behavior. The non-scrolling-elements concern may require separate investigation because no source file or test is identified.
