395525 - can't add, edit and view feeds in Thunderbird 2.0.0.6

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 388919

(MailNews Core :: Feed Reader, defect)

Description

[Jessica]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070515 Firefox/2.0.0.4
Build Identifier: Thunderbird

The RSS feed reader seems to be busted.  Ever since I upgraded from version 2.0.0, some new feed articles do not load.  If they do load, the icon on the left doesn't turn orange, so I can't tell there's a new article until I click through every feed.

Also, if I try to add a feed, nothing happens.  The RSS subscription window is now blank.  I cannot export my feeds either.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Click on "Manage subscriptions" under "News & Blogs."
2. The RSS Subscriptions pop-up window doesn't display any feeds.
3. Click the Add button.
4. Type in a Feed URL.
Actual Results:  
The feed URL isn't validated or saved.

Expected Results:  
The feed URL should be validated and saved.

This problem appeared since I upgraded to 2.0.0.6... previously there was no such problem at all

Correction: If you create a new RSS account, you can add feeds and such.  But I had hundreds of feeds from my old account, which I can't export.

I have the same trouble... I can't get to update my thunderbird's RSS, and those are so important to me.
