How can I add something to my reading list if the icon never shows up in my title bar?
I have some bookmarks that I don't feel are important enough to clog my bookmarks screen, so I wanted to add them to my reading list(which I have never done before) so I can still keep track of them. My reading list screen said the icon will show up in the title bar, my title and url bar are the same thing, but no matter what I did on the page it never showed up.

Hi Yubbi45,
Unfortunately there are some webpages which Reader Mode won't work with. If Reader Mode isn't compatible with a webpage you won't see the book icon won't appear in your URL bar, but you can try to force it by adding "about:reader?url=" at the start of the URL. For example: about:reader?url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04p5b36
From here, there will be a button at the bottom-right of the screen that will add an item to your reading list.
If this doesn't work for you, it might be worth trying bookmarks. You can use bookmark tags to organise the bookmarks you want to read and keep them separate from the rest of your bookmarks. For example, I often bookmark articles and tag them "to read" if I know I'll want to come back to them later.
Bookmarks have the added advantage of being synchronised with Firefox Sync. So if you use Sync, you could bookmark something to read on your tablet, and finish reading it when you're at your PC.
I hope this helps,
