Hey! I'm running into a similar issue as in #670 - footnotes are being excluded from Firefox reader view. I use footnotes a lot, mostly for tangential thoughts that don't fit well with the flow of the post, but for which an aside doesn't feel appropriate. Their omission from readers isn't ideal.
I found that it's because of class="footnotes". If I copy the generated HTML into a post with no footnotes, and change the class from footnotes to something more generic (e.g. just notes), reader view grabs them just fine. I would not be surprised if some of these readers are omitting things labeled as "footnotes" as clutter.
Caveat: As far as I've been able to test, this seems to primarily be an issue with Firefox's reader view specifically. Using a Firefox addon reader mode (Tranquility Reader), Reading Mode in Chrome, or Immersive Reader in Edge all display the footnotes as expected, even with class="footnotes". I'm having a hard time finding any info on why Firefox's reader view is behaving this way.
Are there any alternative ways to do this that I've missed, or would this be best accomplished with a code change to allow for assigning this div class a name similar to how footnote IDs can have a custom prefix?

Thanks! (And thanks for Kramdown!)
