There are bugs (e.g., 666054) regarding full-blown RSS support in Mozilla. It would also be good to have a means of identifying when a page has a RSS feed available, and passing the feed URI to their aggregator when they click a button - whether their aggregator is integrated into Mozilla, another program on the
local machine, or a URI-addressable service.

This could be activated by:
1) allowing the user to select an RSS aggregator (either on the local machine
or     on the network) in preferences.
  2) identifying RSS feeds through a LINK tag;
<LINK rel="rss" href="http://www.example.com/feed.rss"; title="My feed"/> 3) when this LINK is encountered, populating a link in the site navigation toolbar 4) when the link is activated, sending the URI to the selected aggregator.
