arctic Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 "I've been testing out the latest release candidate for Firefox 2.0 (which has since been officially released). One of the new features in Firefox 2.0 is "Previewing and subscribing to Web feeds", which allows users to (according to the release notes): ...decide how to handle Web feeds, either subscribing to them via a Web service or in a standalone RSS reader, or adding them as Live Bookmarks.
