You can check the browser.contentHandlers.types prefs on the about:config page.

Google: http://fusion.google.com/add?feedurl=%s
My Yahoo: http://add.my.yahoo.com/rss?url=%s

I only have browser.videoFeeds.handler and browser.audioFeeds.handler properties in my about:config.

these are missing

browser.audioFeeds.handlers.application

browser.audioFeeds.handlers.webservice

browser.videoFeeds.handler.default

browser.videoFeeds.handlers.application
