[SOLVED]Problem with FireFox's "Reader mode"

The reader mode in my FF 63 displays only "sans-serif" font. When the "serif" button in the settings is clicked, the font doesn't change: the screen flashes and then the font remains the same sans-serif. Quick binging shows that all receipts regarding fonts in FF Reader advise editing userContent.css file. After adding to userContent.css this:

body.sepia.serif, body.serif, body.sepia {
font-family: "Luxi Mono" !important;
}

the "Loading..." string, which is shown on the empty screen a couple of seconds after the reader mode is just toggled, is rendered with correct (Luxi Mono) font, but when the page content is loaded - it's rendered with the sans-serif font.

Is this bug in FF? Does someone have Reader working normally with serif fonts?

Re: [SOLVED]Problem with FireFox's "Reader mode"

Viewing this page using firefox 63.0.3-1 in reader mode after clicking the serif icon,  the text excluding the block in code tags is rendered in serif using "Liberation Serif".
