Mozilla Firefox by default supports only three Web feed readers: Bloglines, Yahoo! and Google Reader. You can, however, add as many providers as you like, and use any of them as your subscription manager. For this, you’ll need to do a couple of about:config tweaks, and add some preferences. Here is the way to add a new RSS feed reader to Firefox..
- Under about:config, create a new preference by right-clicking on any preference and selecting New >
String. - Enter “browser.contentHandlers.types .6.title” for the preference name. Then enter the URL of whichever service you want to use. Lets say, Newsgator, for example (www.newsgator.com)
- As you add more Web feed readers, you will need to change the “6” to the next number. 6 happens to be the first available.
- Create a new preference and enter “browser.contentHandlers.types.6.type” for the preference name.
- Enter “application/vnd.mozilla.maybe.feed” for the value.
- Create yet another preference name and enter “browser.contentHandlers.types.6. uri” for the preference name, and “http://www.newsgator.com/subscribe.php?url=%s” for the preference value.
- You’re done.
Just restart Firefox and you can access your new RSS feed reader and can subscribe feeds directly using Firefox.
Thanks, it helps a lot.
I added feed demon under settings.. I think they support feed demon as well…
