Bookmark RSS feed with 'Subscribe to this page' does not work.
I use the Firefox Bookmarks>Subscribe to this page. It works for some Wordpress sites but not others }:-( For example it does not work on http://www.lawandreligionuk.com/recent-posts/ Subscribe to this page appears and gives two options: L&RUK Feed; L&RUK Comments Feed. When you click on one of them nothing seems to happen and there is no bookmark in the Livebookmark bar to go with the others. Can anyone please explain why not?

Hi Christopher_Whitmey, in your example, if I choose:
Law & Religion UK » Feed
Firefox navigates the tab to this page:
http://www.lawandreligionuk.com/feed/
Then I can click the Subscribe Now button and choose where to add the feed (e.g., Bookmarks Toolbar).
That's because I have "Web Feeds" set to "Preview in Firefox" in the Applications section of the Options page.
Could you test whether that setting works for you? You can change that here:
- Windows: "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options
- Mac: "3-bar" menu button (or Firefox menu) > Preferences
- Linux: "3-bar" menu button (or Edit menu) > Preferences
- Any system: type or paste about:preferences into the address bar and press Enter/Return to load it
Scroll down to the Applications section. You can scroll the list box down to Web Feed, or in the search box above the list, type feed to filter the list. Then try "Preview in Firefox".
Any difference?

Thanks very much jscher2000. Problem solved. Also an admission: Applications Web Feed was still set to an RSS feed aplcn I removed <}:-( Thanks for your help - lesson learned!
Thanks for reporting back. I guess Firefox isn't good at detecting removed applications!
