Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0
Build ID: 20170321124645

Steps to reproduce:

Go to http://chainsawsuit.com/comic/ and hit [Bookmarks / Subscribe to this Page] in the firefox menu.


Actual results:

The main browser just redirects to http://feedpress.me/chainsawsuit which is shown as a normal web page even though it is xml rss.


Expected results:

I should get the page that offers me to create a Live Bookmark. I've not been able to find any way to manually create a Live Bookmark with a specific rss url either.

I see various problems reported by the w3c validator:
https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedpress.me%2Fchainsawsuit
In particulare Use of unknown namespace: https://feed.press/xmlns

it's possible our code clashes on that or there's something else at the network level (mimetype and such).
At this time the feed reader feature is not very actively maintained, so unless someone from the community investigates this and figures out what's up, it's unlikely to be resolved.
