User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:53.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/53.0 Build ID: 20170419190606 Steps to reproduce: Open the RSS feed subscription dialog. Fill feed url field like https://emnh.github.io/rts-blog/feed.xml Click add. Actual results: It shows The Feed url is not a valid feed. Expected results: The feed url is a valid feed.
Per RSS2.0 spec, <title> and <description> are mandatory; the feed has neither. The validator is wrong in this case. Inform the publisher to fix the feed per spec. Also, it may be useful to read the guide: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-subscribe-news-feeds-and-blogs
