Hi!

  1. FF removed the RSS button to discover feeds. Which sucks.
  2. But it sucks even more that the feature to subscribe to feeds via external services was also removed.
  3. I also can't view feeds, even if I find one manually.

New, I saw solutions to the first one, but there of little to no use on their own. Downloading text files with feed items in xml format is pretty useless. I want to be able to view a feed and subscribe to it.

Hi avada, do you mean in Firefox 64, when Firefox removed the built-in "live bookmarks" feature that subscribed to RSS feeds using bookmarks?

Since then, you can use an add-on to subscribe to and read feeds. I don't have any personal recommendations, but here's a link to the search results for "RSS" so you can see what's available:
