What to do with feed: links

This morning I got the following error when clicking on an RSS feed link:

Firefox doesn’t know how to open this address, because the protocol (feed) isn’t associated with any program.

Looking at the link, it was something like this: >a href=”feed:http://somefeelink….

I found a quick solution to make these links work and add them to my default feed reader, Mozilla Thunderbird.

In Thunderbird, go to Tools -> Options…

In the General Tab, click the checkbox to make Thunderbird your default reader for RSS feeds.

That’s it!

Now give it a try, subscribe to my feed
