Firefox - Decent RSS readers?

Default Decent RSS readers?


What's the best RSS reader for FF?

I'm currently using Wizz RSS 2.1.5 and it seems good with one exception,
to update the feeds you have to add them to a 'Watch list' and this will
then update all of the feeds. It would be nice if there was an option
to right click on the actual feed I wanted updated but that is not
present... Everything else about Wizz is cool.

I read RSS feeds in Thunderbird, so this is second hand, but many people
speak highly of the Sage extension.

Tools>>Account Settings

Click the Add new account button at the lower left. The firs page of
the wizard allows you to choose the type of account, select RSS News and
Blogs.

To subscribe to a feed, click the Manage Subscriptions button, then the
Add button and put the url of the xml file into the box.
