Since installing Mountain Lion, I can no longer subscribe to blogs using RSS Feed. How can I get this option working again?

I installed Mountain Lion about 6 weeks ago and the transition was very smooth, except that the blogs I subscribed to via RSS feed disappeared from iMail and I can no longer use the RSS feed option to subscribe to blog pages. I get a message saying 'No associated application could be found'. Help!

You said,

See this thread on the Apple discussions forum:

This looks to be issue with the Apple iMail application in Mountain Lion, which apparently no longer includes an RSS reader. You'll have to find another RSS reader application or Firefox extension (check with add-ons.mozilla.org for RSS reader extensions).

You could also try the Firefox Live Bookmarks - Subscribe to a web page for news and updates feature to subscribe to feeds: First, add the "Subscribe" icon back to the Firefox navigation toolbar, if necessary (see Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars). Next, go to Firefox -> Preferences -> Applications and change the action for "Web Feed" to Live Bookmarks (the default is "Preview in Firefox"). See Applications panel - Set how Firefox handles different types of files for details.
