#-links (citations on wikipedia) in reader view don't work properly.
In Reader View, when clicking #-links, as in links that makes you jump to somewhere else on the page, firefox doesn't open the link properly.
For example, the citation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cley_Marshes#cite_note-NAE9-1 on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cley_Marshes becomes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/#cite_note-NAE9-1 and thus, clicking the link redirects me to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page#cite_note-NAE9-1 instead of jumping down to the citation on the page, neither in reader view or normally.
I have the same problem on another site which uses #-links as footnotes. On http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=Mushoku_Tensei:Web_Chapter_67 the footnote http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=Mushoku_Tensei:Web_Chapter_67#cite_note-1 becomes http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/#cite_note-1 and thus redirects to http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=Main_Page#cite_note-1 instead of jumping down the page.
I suspect it has something to do with how #-links are coded, but I don't know.
Is this a bug, and is there anything I can do to fix this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I have seen this before in bug, however I do not have an eta for when this will change.
Please add your vote to this bug. There might also be a duplicate bug, but I could not find it.

It looks that this version of processing a link isn't covered by the code.
So it uses pathBase + uri where uri is the relative link (href="#cite_note-NAE9-1")
207 _fixRelativeUris: function(articleContent) {
208 var scheme = this._uri.scheme;
209 var prePath = this._uri.prePath;
210 var pathBase = this._uri.pathBase;
211
212 function toAbsoluteURI(uri) {
213 // If this is already an absolute URI, return it.
214 if (/^[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9\+\-\.]*:/.test(uri))
215 return uri;
216
217 // Scheme-rooted relative URI.
218 if (uri.substr(0, 2) == "//")
219 return scheme + "://" + uri.substr(2);
220
221 // Prepath-rooted relative URI.
222 if (uri[0] == "/")
223 return prePath + uri;
224
225 // Dotslash relative URI.
226 if (uri.indexOf("./") === 0)
227 return pathBase + uri.slice(2);
228
229 // Standard relative URI; add entire path. pathBase already includes a
230 // trailing "/".
231 return pathBase + uri;
232 }
