Very simple + sane extension that I found.

Puts an RSS icon into your URL bar when the webpage you're on has an RSS feed. The button is hidden, if it does not.
When you click the button, it copies the feed URL into your clipboard, so you can add it into your RSS reader. If there's multiple RSS feeds on a webpage, it shows a little dropdown and then when you click one of the entries, it copies the feed URL.

When I say "RSS", I do also mean Atom and possibly others.

I use RSSPreview for this. If a feed is available and you click its icon, it gives you a menu where you can select a feed to visit. RSSPreview basically changes how feeds are displayed inside Firefox.

I'd like to note that RSSPreview restores features that were removed in Firefox 64.

And by "changing how feeds are displayed", it applies an XSL Transformation to display the feed as HTML (instead of XML) in the browser. XSL Transformation is pretty neat, you can use it on any XML document such as your own RSS feed, like I done on mine.

Dope, I still love RSS+Atom

Cool, I've been using RSS Launchpad because it was the only one I found to also work on the android version of Firefox, but I'll take a look 👀

Nice, I thought something like this existed natively on some other chromium browsers too. Convenient it can be added to ff now.

i just added it and it doesn't show a lemy feed; how did you get yours to work on lemmy?

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Hmm, I didn't do anything to make it work. Maybe try a hard refresh (Ctrl+F5).

If it is just Lemmy which doesn't work for you, then here's the URL for Top Twelve Hour sorting: https://lemmy.ml/feeds/all.xml?sort=TopTwelveHour

shutting down firefox and relaunching it made it work.
