Subscribing to RSS Feeds

This tutorial will show you how to quickly and easily subscribe to RSS Feeds with Firefox.

First, let’s tell Firefox how you’d like to subscribe to feeds.

Go to the top of your browser and click Tools > Options:

 

 

Make sure you’re in the “Feeds” section:

 

 

You then have a couple of choices:

  • Show me a preview and ask me which feed reader to use – Everytime you try to subscribe to a feed, Firefox will ask you which feed reader you’d like to use.
  • Subscribe to the feed using: – Firefox will subscribe to every feed with the same feed reader (of your choice). If you have a desktop-based application that you’d like to use, just click on the “Choose Application” button and locate it on your hard drive.

Subscribing to a feed is very easy. Firefox let’s you know that a feed is available for a website by placing an orange RSS icon in your address bar:

 

 

If you’d like to subscribe, just click on this orange button.

Sometimes, there may be more than one feed to choose from. Firefox will let you know and give you a choice. Here’s an example:

 

 

Once you make your selection, Firefox will then follow the instructions that you gave it in the Options Menu. Either you will be asked which feed reader to use, or you’ll have the ability to subscribe with the feed reader that you designated.
