Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 254871

(Firefox :: General, enhancement)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10

I like that Firefox's RSS button notifies me when a site has a feed, but I like
reading the feeds better in Thunderbird rather than in Firefox's bookmarks. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Point to the RSS button.


Actual Results:  
Get the same silly tooltip every time.

Expected Results:  
Ideally, I want to be able to right-click on the RSS button and say "subscribe
in Thunderbird". Barring that, I want to be able to right-click on the RSS
button and copy the feed's URL, just as if I'd pointed to a link on a web page.
I also want to be able to point to the RSS button and have the URL show up in
the status bar, just as if I'd pointed to a link on a web page.

"I want to be able to right-click on the RSS button and copy the feed's URL"

Absolutely!  

Adding the feed as a live bookmark, right clicking on the bookmark and choosing
properties, all to be able to copy the feed's URL, and then deleting the live
bookmark when you're done with the copy works but should not be the only way.

Firefox's "RSS Support" should really include a simple COPY URL function for the
feed icon.
