Public bug reported: Binary package hint: firefox
On Web sites that have a syndication feed available, Firefox displays a button on the right side of the location bar. When clicked, it is supposed to load the feed , and provide an option to subscribe to it. On some sites, Firefox garbles the URL for the feed, resulting in an error. For example, 1. Go to http://www.explosm.net/ 2. Click on the 'Subscribe to this page' button in the location bar 3. Firefox tries to take you to an invalid address: feed://http//feeds.feedburner.com/Explosm A look at the site's code shows that it is pointing to the right place: <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Explosm Feedburner RSS Feed" href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/Explosm" /> So it appears that Firefox is mangling the URL to the feed. ** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Firefox garbles some syndication feed URLs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/161938 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
