Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 304704

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[jrandomentity]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091102 Firefox/3.5.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091130 Thunderbird/3.0

I can reproduce this bug on two separate machines.  Both are running OS X 10.6.2, Firefox 3.5.5 (Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091102 Firefox/3.5.5), and Thunderbird 3.0 RC2 (Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091130 Thunderbird/3).

Attempting to add an RSS feed to Thunderbird by clicking on it in Firefox results in Thunderbird appearing with a new message window open for the default email account, but the RSS feed is never added.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Browse to a site with an RSS feed in Firefox (http://www.realdrinx.com as an example, but this happens with any that I try).

2. Click on the RSS feed link.

3. If/when prompted by Firefox, set "Subscribe to this feed using" to Thunderbird and click the 'Subscribe' button.

4. Thunderbird will appear with a new message open from the default account.  The RSS feed will not be added.
Actual Results:  
Thunderbird appeared with a new message open from the default account, with the feed not added to the other RSS feeds.

Expected Results:  
Feed should have been added to the RSS feeds already configured in Thunderbird.

RSS feeds work OK, but adding them in this manner does not.  If the feed is added manually, everything works as expected.
