Embedded audios are not shown. I can only see the embedded audio widget by entering the options and then (change anything or don't, doesn't matter) returning to the reader tab. Then the audio widget shows up. "Show embedded content (videos) of articles *" option has no effect whatsoever.
You can check this feed to see what I mean:

Anyway, aside from this bug, absolutely fantastic add-on. I use it as a google reader replacement, and love it. Thanks for the work you put into it.

p.s.: Nope, it's Firefox (Firefox ESR 24.6.0 to be precise). I don't use Thunderbird.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2.0.3.1-signed).

It seems to be a bug in Thunderbird. (it works in Firefox)
You could use the beta version (of Thunderbird) to avoid this problem.

RE: Same problem with Firefox. You may use a more recent version.

Found this gem when looking for a replacement for google reader. Bamboo is very handy. It's better than cloud thingies: the lesson google taught us is still very fresh. It's better than stand alone feed readers, because when you click on the links in the feed items, you are still in the browser, which is very practical.

A few requests/suggestions though:
An option to throttle checking feeds would be nice. It attempts to check all the feeds at once, and it brings the network connection to a stand still for 10 seconds or so. Just check the feeds one by one, with some interval in between, 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, I don't know.

Another request: please give us back the original right click context menu. It serves useful purposes, and it is not proper ethiquette to remove it.
