Does this happen with only some feeds or all feeds?

Are there any relevant messages in the Error Console?
Tools->Web Development->Error Console.

This happens for me with all feeds, as follows:
1. Select a feed under "Subscribe" in the Site Navigation Bar
-- The current tab is replaced by a page asking how to subscribe. The default is "News & Blogs" (i.e., the feed functionality in MailNews). I don't change it.
2. Click "Subscribe Now".

Actual results: Nothing happens.

Expected results: The mailer (in a different virtual desktop) blinks its taskbar icon. When I open it, I should see a new feed folder, busy downloading articles (or, depending on my reaction speed and on number of articles, already having downloaded them).

Haven't checked the Error Console yet, but I will next time.
