- jmillikin 14y agoFirefox used to have an RSS icon in the address bar when a page referenced an RSS feed. This was an easy way to notify the user that a particular page supported RSS. The icon was removed in Firefox 4, causing much annoyance among people who use RSS (c.f. http://www.webmonkey.com/2011/01/firefox-4-ditches-the-rss-button-heres-how-to-get-it-back/ http://www.webmonkey.com/2011/01/firefox-4-ditches-the-rss-b... )
- azakai 14y agoOh ok, that is definitely a change then, but it's a minor UI change of moving a button into a menu.
- a_p 14y agoTHe RSS button is still available. Just click Nightly -> Options -> Toolbar Layout and drag the RSS button onto the toolbar.
- solarflair 14y agoThe key word here is "default."
- tomkarlo 14y agoIf something makes no sense to 90% of users it probably shouldn't be a default, it should be an option.
