by Anatoli, 8 years agoHi! Nice add-on, thank you!
I've just experiencing one problem with my FF56@Ubuntu: when I right-click on the feeds in the tree view on the left, I get a common menu as on any page, but the help says I would get a menu to rename the feed and perform other actions. Could this be due to NoScript and uBlock origin? Of is this something with FF56?
It would be a 6-stars add-on if you could allow to place feeds on the bookmarks menu the same way the LiveClick add-on does it. I guess it won't take that much effort having the back-end already implemented. I suppose it could be placed there with drag&drop from the tree-view and with a checkbox from the feed options. You could get all their users with this feature as LiveClick won't be rewritten for WE (I'm one of them).
A small suggestion: could you please place the favicon of the feed below each article title (i.e. in "from ") and (optionally, with a check in settings) make the the same as the name one choses for the feed? E.g. for https://thehackernews.com feed I see now: "from The Hacker News by [email protected] (Mohit Kumar)". It could be replaced by: " ".

The right-click problem is a bit tricky to pin down. A few other users have reported it as well but we haven't been able to reproduce it on our Linux installations. Hard to say what is causing it. 3.30.0 has one extra preventDefault() call. Hopefully it fixes that issue for you. Please also ensure that in about:config you have key 'dom.event.contextmenu.enabled' set to true. If it's false, it disables right-click context menus.
Regarding the favicon suggestion there's now a new Option 'Use favicons in article "from line"' that enables the icons in view mode 2 and when expanding articles in other modes. Off by default because it can make the list look a bit "busy".

It could then be set up to sync across devices and their various apps, guard against data loss, convenience.
It's baffling that this has not been implemented. - Rated 4 out of 5by Jonathan B. Horen, a month ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by MMS, 2 months agoReally BEST RSS. No alternatives in Firefox. Thank YOU Nodetics.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17364957, 2 months agoWorks great, but having some way to "Pause" feeds would be useful, rather than outright deleting them.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Joey Wheel, 2 months agoFeedbro is compromised. It is communicating with a malicious IP: 50.87.175.165 According to AbuseIPDB this is for a word press brute force attack. It will slow up your internet browsing and it was making Google give me the "Are you a human" pop up when they get suspicious usage from a single device. I turned it off and the popups stopped. The only feeds I was tracking were a few people's tumblr pages. I had to ask around on forums at first because I legit thought I had a virus until I disabled the extension and no regular virus scanner was picking this up (by nature of how extensions work.)
Edit: I had ONE RSS feed I forgot about that wasn't a tumblr and must have been powered by wordpress (the feed author had a WP site.) Feedbro doesn't have anything in place to deal with broken feed requests. I had no way of knowing. - Rated 5 out of 5by Dfaure, 2 months ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by rgfcesar, 3 months agoA powerful extension that's worth an entire app. It can import OPML, divide feeds into folders, RSS reading panel... Really very complete. Congratulations to the developer for the product.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Narendran Gopalakrishnan, 4 months agoThe best among those I have tried. Recently chrome blocked it due to MV3, and I switched to Feedbro on Firefox, but find that Alt+{1,2,3,4,5} of firefox are overridden when on the Feedbro page. A minor hitch.
