I tried to use a local generated xml rss feed in Firefox. It doesn't work with local files, which is not really a bug, as firefox is expected to work on the Internet.
However, I think it should be great allowing to use locals files (such as file:///home/arnaud/rss-feed.xml), as some sites don't have rss and users like me can create scripts to write a local rss-feed. 


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a rss xml file 
2. Try to add the feed in Firefox
3. There is a message saying you that you can't add this file.


Expected Results:  
Firefox should have add the rss file as an networked feed.
