Now that I'm trying Inoreader, the killer feature for me is being able to open items in background tabs. Too bad that requires a plugin for Firefox.

Are you talking about the keyboard shortcut? If so, there is no need for an addon on Firefox.

  When I tried the keyboard shortcut without the addon, it just triggered a popup saying I needed the addon.

    Ah, yeah, you're correct. Firefox had changed the permissions for this some time ago. You can optionally toggle the browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground value in about:config to true, then the v shortcut will open in background. That said, I find the add-on a must-have. I'm always using it to save web pages. Do not forget to check the HTTPS option in setting, though. As a reference [1]: browser.tabs.loadInBackground => when you open a regular link in a new tab using Ctrl+click (or right-click > Open in a New Tab) default = true, do not make the new tab active In the Options dialog/page, this is controlled by the "When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately" setting. browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground => when you divert a script-generated new window to a new tab using Ctrl+click, or when a page uses the target attribute to launch a link in a new window and you divert it to a new tab default = false, make the new tab active browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground => when you load a bookmark in a new tab using Ctrl+click (or right-click > Open in a New Tab) default = false, make the new tab active [1] https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1066419 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1066419

      Thanks! That actually fixes my biggest problem with Feedly if this Inoreader trial doesn't work out for me.

You mean a web extension, not a plugin.

  Probably, I don't know the difference.
