I know nothing about RSS, but I do know that there’s something wonky going on.
If you’ve downloaded Firefox 2.0, like myself, and you use Feedburner, you may have noticed that you aren’t being directed to the normal Feedburner site when you click on someone’s link to subscribe to their feed.
Why is this? I have no idea, but apparently it’s a Firefox 2.0 issue. I checked out the Feedburner support forum, and they gave this and this as links to “support.” I didn’t get anything useful, but you might.

I think it’s their way of allowing Firefox Live Bookmarks to take over the world
Lol. Yea. That could be it. Either way, it sucks.
I noticed that too! I just thought it was one situation problem lol
The feedburner feeds just add a stylesheet to your normal feed - if you view the source you get the usual XML code. What’s happened is that FF 2.0 has apparently stopped supporting those stylesheets
Aha. Thanks for the info. Now what to do? lol.
Come on FF, you’ve got to stop doing this. Or should I say, start doing it.
They’ve stopped supporting XSL (XML Stylesheets) so they can use their own, basically. It’s what IE7 does as well, but I actually prefer IE’s to FF’s new one. Either way, we’re not the only ones to be unhappy about this, so hopefully the FF developers will fix this soon…
If the FF developers don’t fix it, I’m sure someone will come up with an extension soon enough
In fact, one has probably been released… *Goes looking*
I did a quick search and didn’t see anything, but if you do, please let me know.
I did see that the people at firefox get really mad when you compare them to Bill Gates. lol
There’s a pretty heated discussion about FF’s RSS change.
