Description

I'd like to go into the reading mode in Firefox, which reformats the page to potentially make it scroll smoother and make it easier to read. In VimFX this was gr, but of course it does not have to have the same mapping by default. Actually, I don't even necessarily think it would need to be mapped at all by default. It would be fine just having it available to be mapped.

Research direction

The issue text is the starting point; first inspect how Vimium exposes browser commands and how Firefox reading mode can be invoked. Done means a command can activate Firefox reading mode and is available for user mapping, with a default mapping remaining optional.
