Rss-bridge: Display the generated Atom URL in option

[AntoineTurmel]

Mozilla is removing RSS page display as of Firefox 64:

So now when you click on "Atom" it show a file download instead of the RSS page.
I think it would be nice to be able to get the URL as a input type text so you can copy-paste it.

:slightly_frowning_face: Why?

It's not sustainable and nobody wants to maintain it in current shape

:sob:

There are quite a few WebExtensions supporting feeds...

Forget it. Hope they remove JSON and XML parsing in FF 65

Sorry, I'm really disappointed in FF right now.

I suppose we can generate feed URLs on the client and display them next to the buttons. Maybe we can re-arrange things a bit to allow for that.

The current status is a bit hard i have to save the atom file. Extract the url from it, encode it correctly than use it in my rss-reader. (TT-RSS).

• If anyone knows a FF plugin that would react on ATOM instead of downloading it.
• Make a setting that would instead of the atom file show a popup/new page with the url.
  
  
  
  • More advanced would be to copy the url to the clipboard in one go.

I now use this:

• https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/awesome-rss/ (to add an RSS button)
• https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/rsspreview/ (to display feed in browser like before)

rsspreview does the trick it allows you to see the url (and the feed). Thanks

Thanks for sharing those add-ons. I've added a section to the FAQ for future reference: https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge/wiki/FAQ#firefox-doesnt-show-feeds-anymore-what-can-i-do

I suppose this can be closed. Thanks for your feedback!
