I just discovered Firefox and I love it.

I know I'm behind, but I liked Safari, but it crashes a lot on me.

I'm not ready for Tiger, but I want RSS feeds.

Can Firefox do that? I read that it can, but I don't know how it works in Firefox. In Safari 2.0 it's pretty easy to use RSS.

Is it that easy in Firefox and if so, how?

Thanks.

Yes, it's easy. When viewing sites that properly link their RSS feeds, an orange icon will appear at the bottom of the window. Click that to add a "Live Bookmark," which is what they call RSS feeds in Firefox.

By the way, I highly recommend the Sage extension. It's a more powerful feed reader than the built-in Live Bookmarks feature.

Hey Mallrat

I use InfoRSS 0.8.9.3 with FireFox works Great!!! I've got so many RSS Feeds loaded that I could spend All my time reading them...hahaha You can have the Feed Posted on the top or bottom of the Screen and it can scroll the Info or just UpDate on a set time. InfoRSS is constantly Updating seems very month or so.

Also I'm on an Old Slow Machine(Pismo 400 running 10.3.9)with a Dial-Up connection ahd the Feed UpDates Run Fast and Great Never a Problem!!!


Have Fun!!!

Thanks guys. I just installed Sage and it's pretty sweet. I have to try a few more others. I did think Safari 2.0 RSS feeds was pretty sweet, but I'm really digging FireFox.
