How to enable RSS auto discovery in firefox?

3

Firefox used to have a rss icon inside the url box.

Now I can only find it as a button I can add to the toolbar, which is too big for something that will be disabled most of the time.

Is there a way to make it work as before? I want it to appear only when the current website has an RSS Feed.

Try one of these extensions:

The first one uses the old Firefox 3 icon, the second one uses a new style, which fits better to the new look since Firefox 4, but is buggy.

The second one was buggy. The first one did the trick. – HappyDeveloper – 2012-06-21T01:19:54.820

Sorry to hear that. Thought that I had tried them both. But thanks for your feedback! – JackDMF – 2012-06-28T10:06:20.007

There is no need for an add-on. Simply use the customization function for the toolbar - the icon is still there.

1Can you add a link to a screen shot showing where the icon is. – ChrisF – 2013-03-21T12:22:20.137

Adding more detail would vastly improve this answer. – James Mertz – 2013-03-21T15:30:39.103

The OP has already stated that "Now I can only find it as a button I can add to the toolbar, which is too big for something that will be disabled most of the time." Please read the question carefully before replying. – Karan – 2013-03-21T17:01:35.917
