423230 - Can't add new RSS feed (subscribe button broken, using third party reader)

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 423060

(Firefox Graveyard :: RSS Discovery and Preview, defect)

Description

[Pas]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b5pre) Gecko/2008031506 Minefield/3.0b5pre

I'm using Google Reader (Netvibes before that) and now I'm unable to subscribe to a new feed directly via the "Subscribe" button. (The orange feed square at the right end of the location bar.)

Firefox discovers the feeds, I can click the one I want (for example Subscribe to 'Comments'... or Subscribe to 'Posts'...) it loads something in the background. (LiveHTTPHeaders shows a simple GET (plus the response) but not the configured external/third-party reader's subscription URL, but the direct feed url.) Nothing happens after this.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add a third-party reader (or use the "built-in" Bloglines)
2. Go to a site with feed(s) (digg.com,  http://www.mozilla.org/ )
3. Click the subscribe button (if you have multiple choices select one)
Actual Results:  
Nothing happens.

Expected Results:  
The browser should load the "subscription url" for the 3rd party reader, like
http://www.google.com/reader/view/feed/%s -> http://www.google.com/reader/view/feed/http://www.mozilla.org/news.rdf

I've tried this in safe mode aswell, same results. Hope it's not a dupe, I've searched bugzilla for some time with different keywords.

Eh, just think of filing dupes as a way to add even more keywords for the next person to find :)
