Dear @mozilla
Please, please, please put the RSS indicator back in Firefox.

People need to know about this technology which empowers users over greedy, controlling corporations.

Update: As many have pointed out, you *can* use @thunderbird as an RSS feed reader, and there are many #firefox add-ons to restore the RSS indicator (one of which I'm already using). But my point is that Firefox needs to lean into RSS as an answer to all the crap that is the modern web, and help educate users about it

@RL_Dane @mozilla does firefox have a built in rss feed reader?

It never had one. It just displays the feed as a generic XML file. But the RSS button let you know the feed was available, and you could copy the URL and paste it into your reader/aggregator.

Not true. It had a UI for RSS, and it could subscribe to feeds as bookmark folders.

@nik @RL_Dane @cubeofcheese @mozilla This was an Add-On, wasn't it? It just can not recall the name anymore.

No, it was built-in until Firefox 64:

What happened to my Live Bookmarks? | Firefox Help

Firefox no longer supports built-in Live Bookmarks, but we’ve made it easy to continue using your feeds.
