Details

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20070309 Firefox/2.0.0.3
Build Identifier: version 2.0.0.0 (20070326)

On Thunderbird 1.5 I noticed that removing a feed resulted it in setting the Title to null. However the feeds were still processed so I tried to delete them again. If I try to remove the feed nothing happens. This same problem persists after upgrading to version 2.0.0.0 (20070326).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open RSS subscriptions window
2. Delete a valid feed, it sets to null
3. Try to delete the feed again, nothing happens.
Actual Results:  
The feed didn't get removed.

Expected Results:  
The feed should have been removed.
I found a workaround/fix to solve this problem:

1. Export your rss feeds.
2. Delete all your RSS folders.
3. Import your feeds again and remove the ones you wanted to remove.

This procedure worked for me. Keep in mind that you lose the feed items you've already downloaded.
The reporter mentioned he could repro in a clean profile on IRC.
