- Rated 4 out of 5by Jeremy G, 4 years agoWould be perfect if it could be part of Firefox Sync! I love the interface and the ease of use but I'm looking for a cross-computer rss reader so I can't use it for the moment. I hope Firefox Sync will be implemented.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13059527, 4 years agowould be perfect if it supports toggling on / off full article view while reading , syncing feed subscriptions, and modifying feed properties in a batch
- Rated 4 out of 5by oldschooler, 4 years agoExcellent add-on, highly configurable, really helpful, clever, time saver. It can be better on font readability, short preview readability, options placement and other small things that can make Feedbro easier to use for non pro users. Maybe an android version option to save everything you like in a personal feed (even publishable) should be great. Maybe even an android stand alone version to have all of out feeds, given the fact you can't install it of firefox for android.
Thx for the effort and for the community. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15630840, 4 years agoBest RSS Reader for Fireox.
However is it possible to change the iframe height in viewmode6 to fit with Firefox screen height ? - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15588331, 4 years agoA very promising extension. There are only two things which are bugging me:
1) Since the tags result in readable feeds, they should be treated as such and should be shown as folders with unread counts.
At present they show a kind of unwieldy result list and one needs to manually monitor them for new content.
That behaviour sadly makes tags more of a chore than a convenience.
2) One cannot turn off the boldly presented unread count displayed at the extension icon.
This assumes that everyone wants to know, how many unread items there are, all the time - which is simply not realistic.
I'm perfectly content with knowing exactly, how many unread items there are, after opening the extensions main window. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15369209, 4 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13720854, 4 years agoVery good rss reader! I really like its ability to get feeds out of twitter, instagram...which a lot of readers cannot.
But there's one function I need which it doesn't seem to be able to do. When there are alot of unread titles I can't finish them all at once. I need to mark the titles older than a certain one as read. For me this is a critical function. - Rated 4 out of 5by em28 em28, 5 years agoFF 70 broke the "mark all feed as read" option, only after I try again to enter the feed it mark as read.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Dino Conte, 5 years agoA great feed reader that would be perfect with synchronization.
My other wishes:
* Add "share with mastodon".
* Import/Export for all Settings - Rated 4 out of 5by hoanglan87, 5 years agoOne key point missing to perfect: sync across browser, do you have any manual way to do that?
- Rated 4 out of 5by Mellobob, 5 years agoI use this app lots of times every day and really love it. I was getting a bit desperate that I couldn't delete feeds and found that setting ui.context_menus.after_mouseup to TRUE fixed that. Now, my only beef is that duplicate articles are not collapsed: eg, the BBC site may have 10 articles all with the same header and it becomes distracting to page though them all (INOreader has this option). Thanks!

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13283676, 5 years agoI propose to add such a function starred items cannot be deleted without confirmation. Or fasten the star-marked news. To avoid accidental deletion.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14969340, 5 years agoFeedbro popup doesn't follow selected theme colors...it always white...and no way to export Feedbro custom settings...please add. Thanks!!
- Rated 4 out of 5by syd1507, 5 years agoExcellent, until FF 66 : the "right-click for options" (on a feed title) seems to no longer work. The popup appears but closes when you release the right-click (in order to left-click & select the option)...
Feedbo 3.39.0 on Firefox 66.0 (64 bits) / LinuxDeveloper response
posted 5 years agoThis is caused by a recent regression bug in Firefox. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1535068
We'll see if there's a way to get around this somehow but the problem is that it works fine on Windows but not on Linux or MacOS.
Workaround: open about:config and set "ui.context_menus.after_mouseup" to true. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14682338, 5 years agoUnfortunately, I cant use it only with keyboard, because page up/down in the middle panel doest work with keyboard (neihter spacebar nor pageup/down-keys).
Is there a way to get this functionality?Developer response
posted 5 years agoPlease see Feedbro help for a list of keyboard shortcuts. You can open the Help by clicking the ?-icon in the Feedbro toolbar. You can use j/k or shift-rightarrow/leftarrow to move between next/previous item on the list.
Page down/up and space bar affect the actual article view in viewmode 3 as intended. - Rated 4 out of 5by GregAMO, 5 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by p3732, 5 years agoVery nice reader. Only two remarks:
- Newly added feeds should not be marked as unread, since the user just visited that feed to add it, thus is aware of its content.
- A more symbolic icon would make the addon look more modern (I can help if you are interested, reply, I will check this review and get in touch) - Rated 4 out of 5by Flush, 5 years agoКлассное дополнение, но есть одно НО! Хочется чтобы в любом из режимов отображения можно было найти подписки на открытых вкладках. И тогда будет 5 звезд, однозначно!
- Rated 4 out of 5by sarf2k4, 5 years agoProbably the best rss feed extension I ever used so far. Each new feeds are grouped into their respective group to avoid clutter, also we can put some rules on incoming feeds.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12649351, 5 years agoI like it, easy to setup and easy looking except that I cant find how to make it show only "Titles" and not all the page for each feed, so I keep scrolling to see all my feeds. Maybe I didn't find that option if you can advise.

posted 5 years agoYou can change view mode with the toolbar buttons. Titles-only view can be also activated with keyboard shortcut '2'. See Feedbro help for more tips.
