Firefox RSS subscription bug
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Not sure how to subscribe to a RSS feed? Read Subscribing to blogs the easy way. Thanks for visiting!
I’ve recently noticed a bug in Firefox 3. If you subscribe to a lot of blogs you’ve probably noticed the RSS symbol on the right hand side inside your Firefox address bar.
The RSS signup button in the address bar
The feature is very useful because, when you go to a blog or a news page, you can quickly and easily subscribe via your feed reader.
There is a bug in the Firefox 3 implementation at present when more than one feed is available. Wordpress by default is able to handle RSS 0.92, RSS 2.0 and Atom feeds. These feeds are advertised to the world via a HTML tag inside each web page. When all three feeds are advertised, as in the image below, when I click on the RSS icon in the Firefox address bar nothing happens.
All alternate feed links in place
When I remove all but one of the feed links, everything works as normal.
All but one feed link commented out

This bug STILL exists. Total FAIL.
