I cannot figure out, even with Google searching, how to create live bookmarks in Firefox 7.0.1 . Every time I select an RSS feed or attempt to create one, I am taken to a different webpage asking if I want to open it with Google Reader or put it on my Google Homepage. I'd rather keep it in a folder in my bookmarks toolbar IN Firefox. I have other live bookmarks, and attempted to 'copy' them, then update the feed source and website information, but they revert back to the feeds that I copied them from every time they're reloaded. Please help.

Perfect solution. Clicking "View Feed XML" works, but only after I went through the options that you listed, xr417. Otherwise, when I clicked "View Feed XML," it would take me to the google options page to view in google reader or on the google homepage as previously mentioned. This was driving me crazy! Thanks a bunch!
