RSS display behaviour change with version 115
I noticed with the upgrade to Version 115 from 102 that the handling of certain RSS Feeds changed.
I turned on an older computer which was still running version 102, so I was able to do a side by side comparison.
First was that certain feeds had lost their icon. And it did make me wonder why. One screen shot shows the RSS feed index as displayed in the left pane of the application. Old Thunderbird showed the site icons, New does not. 115 on left, 102 on right.
Second was the display of the article content. The other screen-shot shows the content of the feed article. New Thunderbird does not show the page content only a like of text, where-as old Thunderbird showed the page within Thunderbird itself. 115 on left, 102 on right
Considering the behaviour of the same feed and article on two versions on the same day, I can only guess that the processing logic has changed.

For the second issue, What do you have for View/Feed Message Body As? Try Default Format or Web Page/Original HTML.
Changing that setting for displaying the content appears to work. I had to go into the deleted feed entries to find ones read and deleted, but the ultimate proof will be when a new entry pops up in the inbox in the next day or so. This is not a setting I have ever noticed, nor touched, which alludes to a default behaviour change in 115. But thanks for the tip!
The option to change the view method of message body does display the feed entry to what it did in Thunderbird 102, but I have subsequently discovered that it did not function as a web page. The image context menu item "Save Image as…" while appearing on right-click, does not function within Thunderbird, only when viewed in Firefox directly.
As each entry has to jump back to a browser, it effectively removes the advantage Thunderbird held over a Firefox plug-in I used to use. I prefer using Thunderbird for RSS as it suits to keep it with email. So rather than switching back to the Firefox plug-in, I've chosen to downgrade Thunderbird back to a functional 102.
A German website offered this solution to the RSS favicon problem: go to Settings>Privacy>check Remember websites and links I visited. Refresh your feeds and you should have the favicons back (you can uncheck "Remember websites and links I visited" after that). I know it worked for me.
Hi @Louarntan, Unfortunately, this activity did not work for me, which would suggest another factor involved in the environment or configuration.
I have checked with Thunderbird 115.2.2 And there is no mode in the "Format Message Body selection that can match how Thunderbird 102 can format the RSS message.
Of the 6 options display, 1 does not display the body at all, and the other 5 display the body with various elements turned off, but all have one thing in common, and that is the context menu option "Save image as…" does not work at all.
The context menu options work on the website hosting the content, as it did in version 102.
While version 115 does look better, I'm afraid, for me, function is more important than form, so I'll be sticking with 102, until at least 115 is functionally as good as version 102.
