Hello,

I really like the feedreader, but I have ideas for improvement:
- Not a true sidebar (don't know if this is a limitation of the Quantum Firefox API)

- Other readers show the top 20 or 30 title under the bookmark in the sidebar (so the current tab is free)
I pin the TAB, and switch back occassionally but the sidebar solution is much more elegant
Since the design of the folders seems to be already be a tree (open close folders) this should be easy

- The view mode 3 and 6 show "Feed Text" and then second Line the source. This is quite a waste when I clicked on one bookmark, since I know which feed I clicked ;) It would be enough to show "Icon of Source" + "Feed Text" as an option. This would give lots of screen space back, especially when on a large screen.

- I would like to have a variant of mode 3 with small texts (and Icon mode ;), then add a column for every other feed. So I would have
Feed 1 | Feed 2 | Feed 3. Refreshing the feeds would add a new entry to the relevant feed. There are people with wide or even multiple monitor setups who could simply watch 20 feeds move around aday ;)

Thanx alot for this.

Great rss app, thank you very much!

I am however experiencing a few issues with it:

- media autoplay: pages with videos or audio frequently begin playing them as soon as the article is loaded. It would be nice if there were a setting to disable this, or it were disabled by default.

- page redirects: some sites attempt to take you to their website automatically when the article is clicked on. It would be nice if this could be prevented, even if only the headline is shown. I've simply had to remove these feeds from the reader (eg. engadget)

wishlist item...

- feedly integration: it would be very nice if it were possible to get our feeds from a service like feedly, this way it is easy to have the
same feeds across devices.

- duplicate articles: some news sites have many feeds which can contain duplicate articles. it would be nice if there were an option to not show and mark as read duplicate articles (articles with the same title?) (eg. reuters)

Thanks!

1) When enable view mode 2 (just headers) and set "Mark article as read" as "when bottom article arrived" header not change unread style to read one, before reload feed. Just change counter into feeds tree.

2) Also add mark article as read "when article is open / shown" from view mode 2.

Thanks

I like it works great

Bug:

Cannot add reddit RSS feeds, for example: https://www.reddit.com/r/news/.rss
See: https://www.reddit.com/wiki/rss


Some feature requests:

- Option to turn of keyboard shortcuts.
- Ability to undelete an article within either X second or before changing to a new category (folder).
- A choice of icons for the toolbar button, for example the default RSS icon in Firefox to fit inline with the other toolbar buttons.
- Improve view mode 2 by adding a small thumbnail of the associated article image to the left of each article in the list (a blank space if no thumbnail to keep the list aligned).

Looks like a good replacement for Sage, however Id' also suggest a compact, no-frills "two-column, left one split into upper and lower half" layout: https://imgur.com/a/dslQ8

The current "Layout 3" comes closest to this, but it wastes way too much space.

Thanks!

Great extension, very useful, stylish and comfortable!

great addon.
I was a strong user of SAGE, only problem detected is time to update the feeds.

Great, works awesome, I keep the reader open as a pinned tab and it has totally replaced my liveclick extension which didn't make it to FF57. Thanks Feedbro!

I did 10 minutes trying to find a feedbro forum or somewhere to post a problem and get help, but I couldn't find anything. I know review section on FF site is not the place but what else can I do. About 2 updates ago for some reason Feedbro lost all my subscriptions and rules and totally reset. I don't know if this could have happened due to a Firefox sync that I did. Anyway since then one of my feeds (I added them back) seems to be stuck repeating. I can literally reload it every then seconds and it loads feeds from a few days ago in groups of two or three until getting to the current one then repeating. It also removes the newly loaded feed feed from its old position in the list, so there are no visible duplicates. It's like the track of a tank just going in an endless cycle. It's only the one feed and only since I had to replace it after I lost the feed originally. The site itself doesn't have many new updates so I haven't seen how it works when an ACTUAL new feed comes along. I have deleted and reloaded the feed numerous times... I'm pretty sure nothing has changed on the site in question (predb.me). I would appreciate any help with this issue, because it bugs me that every hour there is are a couple 'new' feeds but when I check it's the same ones from that one site.

Edit: Also, where is the 'known issues' section on the 'front page' mentioned in a reply to another user here? What front page exactly?

Die Rettung für RSS-Feeds seit FF57.

I was using LiveClick, but this add-on is far more powerful.

The ONLY thing missing in this addon is subfolders and better folder management (folders being listed should appear alphabetically, for an example). Other than that, fantastic addon. Absolutely a keeper.

Witam ponownie :) Tym razem daję 5 gwiazdek. Dzięki Twoim poprzednim radom udało mi się umieścić i dostosować wszystkie moje zakładki z RSS. Mam ewentualnie jedną prośbę na przyszłość - byłoby super, gdyby można było dodawać nie tylko foldery, ale także podfoldery. Ale to już moja fanaberia :) Bardzo dziękuję za ten dodatek, który pozwala mi jakoś przeboleć stratę LiveClick.
Pozdrawiam
Hello again :) This time I give 5 stars. Thanks to your previous advice I was able to put and customize all my bookmarks with RSS. I have one more request for the future - it would be great if you could add not only folders, but also subfolders. But this is my fanaberia :) Thank you for this add-on, which allows me somehow to lose the LiveClick loss. Regards

As a long time useer of the Sage++ (Higmmer's Edition) reader I have been looking for adequate replacement for the Firefox Quantum. The FeedBro is closest alternative, however, I really miss the "update all feeds now" button.

I'm very satisfied, this addon is still better and better. The developer improves this add-on very quickly, so I hope it will soon replaces the previously used NewsFOX.
Now I have only one small suggestion - it is not possible (yet :-)) to synchronize the list of feeds with multiple computers or import it directly from the browser bookmark (not via HTML or OPML).

I also used Bamboo before and liked it more, since it was simpler and did what i wanted. What bothers me the most is how Feedbro reacts to Feeds with the same Timestamp. It should just list all.
The other thing is, not matter what I set for "Maximum Entries to save" in a specific Feed, it just uses the default Settings of 100. Maybe thats have something to do with the Timestamp but its just displays 100.
A single Button to Update every Feed would be very usefull. And an option to disable the source under every Feed.

Good addon though, which could need some Improvements.

-edit-
Ok, than thats the Problem.^^ A single HTTP load request should load more than 100 feeds :-)

-edit2-
Iam going to raise my review to 4 Stars. The refresh all button is now there and the warning will be disabled in a future Update. Nice!
But: Please change it so the HTTP load request will load more than 100 feeds. Iam missing something because the addon only loads 100 entries. Thats the reason iam still stuck with Firefox 56 and Bamboo. 5 Stars after that have been fixed.

Trying Feedbro while Brief updates to work on FF57
There's a lot of small issues here and there: lack of support for Live bookmarks (which Firefox has been using for some years now), UI unpredictability and general weirdness (Not only can't I set an exact number of minutes for scan interval, you chose to represent a year as 525600 minutes!), can't drag'n'drop links for fast feed creation, can't select multiple feeds... Mostly minor UI stuff that builds up and makes the add-on annoying to deal with, but It seems likely that they'll get fixed over time.

What really stands out is the rules system. I've got a feed that's always giving me trouble, both here and back on Brief, where marking the "don't mark updated articles as unread" checkbox solved it's hijinks, but since Feedbro lacks that I tried to solve it with rules. The hijinks this time is that every time the scan interval completes, a single, old article reappears as brand new, and my gut feeling was to use the rules to compare if the time at which it was detected was more recent than the earliest article. Sadly, you can't compare articles, nor check any kind of time atribute. So as a emporary measure I've placed a rule to mark all updates from said feed as read, and not notify me of said updates. Bummer.
Then there's another feed that usually posts multiple articles at once, to be read in a particular order. Since notifications are per article, when the update hits I get spammed with notifications, and was about to set a rule to check wetherarticles have been posted within seconds of each other, only to remember I can't check that. Bummer again.
Those are just two specific cases, what Im really trying to get at is that the rules system has the potential to become an incredibly powerful tool.

TL;DR: Feedbro really shows potential to become great, but right now it's just fine and usable. Won't be using it yet, but will definitely come back to check again in a few months to see what's changed.

I used Newsfox before the FF57 update so now I'm using this, and I really like it. Even more than Newsfox.

The only features that I miss are the option to open all the unread entries of a feed in new tab and, more important, the update of old entries when they are updated on the feed.

Overall great addon.
