Entering Reader Mode should put users into a full screen view of their article, and should hide the Firefox Title bar. We can explore ways of restoring the title bar, either by: * Tapping on the screen (reveals bottom toolbar and title bar) * Pulling down from the top 1/3 of the screen (which is an interaction we want to try in regular web content as well, as a way to scroll the header off screen and quickly access it again)

Ideally, we shouldn't need to special-case the Reader in any way as putting the web content at the center without distractions is a goal for Fennec as a whole not just the Reader.

I outlined the desired header behaviour in bug 716403, and indicated this should apply both in standard browsing mode and in reader mode.
Summary: Header should disappear in Reader Mode → Browser toolbar should disappear in Reader Mode

Or actually, I'm not sure exactly how Reader Mode works and if inserting the changes for regular sites will affect Reader Mode. In the case that it doesn't affect Reader Mode (which I would consider not a dup), we should probably make it dependent on bug 716403 to make sure we don't forget about it.

My understanding is that the behaviour for reader mode should be the same than for any other page. Tweaking the behaviour just for reader would probably mean that we're doing it wrong. Closing as dup.
