Rated 4 out of 5
by Spanky, 8 years agoGreat, 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?

- Rated 5 out of 5by rgfcesar, 15 days agoA powerful extension that's worth an entire app. It can import OPML, divide feeds into folders, RSS reading panel... Really very complete. Congratulations to the developer for the product.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Narendran Gopalakrishnan, 17 days agoThe best among those I have tried. Recently chrome blocked it due to MV3, and I switched to Feedbro on Firefox, but find that Alt+{1,2,3,4,5} of firefox are overridden when on the Feedbro page. A minor hitch.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 11114990, 23 days agoOpen 'All Items' view at start [X] Activated is mandatory.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Jean-Michel Molinas, 24 days agoI like very much this applications but it is the third time I lost all my feed subscriptions (windows update, firefox synchronisation) and I found there is no way to save automatically my feed subscriptions somewhere I could find it in case of breakdown. Please could you implement such a feature?

- Rated 3 out of 5by AverageJoe, 2 months agoUI is somewhat counterintuitive; when I added a feed to "Root", its contents populated the extension's menu (when you click its icon in the extension menu), not what I would have expected-that's all. Seems adding all your feeds to one menu is not what most people would want to do (probably should be an option there to create a new folder). The options UI has gratuitous animations, with no apparent option to turn off animations.

Background: #111111

1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum) (AA)
Pass for large text only. Fail for regular text

Foreground: #777777
Background: #3D291B

1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum) (AA)
Pass for large text only. Fail for regular text
1.4.6 Contrast (Enhanced) (AAA)

When selecting a folder from the article preview card, it is unclear which feed it belongs to, and there is no way to quickly delete the corresponding feed as no longer interesting.
When selecting Statistics, some feeds are immediately marked as Selected. Why?
RMB in the news list unexpectedly works like SMB.
There is no cloud syncing of feeds via browser, nor via Google Drive/Dropbox connection.
Mozilla Firefox 140.0b1 (64-bit), Feedbro 4.16.3 (Mar 24, 2024), Microsoft Windows 10.0.19045.5854. - Rated 4 out of 5by andrenix, 3 months agoIt is very good, almost perfect. The rules feature is very complete.
Unfortunately it lacks a "search" feature (or I couldn't find it), which would be very useful. - Rated 5 out of 5by Dra Vu, 3 months ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by jay, 3 months agolove it! but can we get an option to prevent the theme from changing the colors of the html article content? a lot of my articles look all weird because the theme is changing the background color
