Try the following:

  1. Go to the Firefox options
  2. Select eh Applications tab
  3. Locate the Web Feed item
  4. Change the action to Add Live Bookmarks in Firefox

Please report back soon.

That is because the server is sending some xml file as text/xml and not as a content type that Firefox recognizes as a feed.

This doesn't work (text/xml):

This works (application/xhtml+xml):

You can add a feed icon to the Navigation Toolbar (Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout; View > Toolbars > Customize) and create a bookmark with the location set to this data URI code to get a highlighted feed icon or an enabled Subscribe item in the Bookmarks menu if you invoke the bookmark. 

data:text/html,<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Add Feed" href="%S">

http://www.kolaylezzet.com/index.php?option=com_ninjarsssyndica... The pictures of latest items of RSS cannot be seen at this link. Is this related to the website (http://www.kolaylezzet.com/) or with Firefox. Thanks.

Hi kolaylezzet

Seems to be working here on Linux if I check the page source.
I see a picture with this item: GAVURDAĞI SALATASI

Which links are you referring to?

Hi cor-el You are right. But GAVURDAĞI SALATASI is not the latest one in the list form of this link: http://www.kolaylezzet.com/index.php?option=com_ninjarsssyndica... What I mean is that the pictures of SADE ve KAŞARLI SUCUKLU KOLAY BAZLAMA, PATLICANLI MEFTUNE (Diyarbakır), KARAGÖZ TATLISI...cannot be seen in that list. By the way, I use Windows Vista. Thank you.

I see that the feed got updated and that RULO KATMER TATLISI is currently the last entry.
