The best addition !!! But now it does not work firefox 57! Fix it!
Fix for firefox 57 means to rewrite NewsFox from scratch. It should happen somewhere in the future (depending also on how many people are really interested in having NewsFox and in case which features).
For sure 1-star review doesn't help, but it is a user's opinion.

Плохо что с Firefox 57(64 bit) не работает.... (
Rated 4 out of 5 stars
I've been using this for years, and it's been pretty good. The interface has remained a wee bit conservative, but quite functional.
Unfortunately it doesn't work under Quantum any more. Please port it to the new system. It's one of the very few things I'm missing from pre-Quantum times (Flym on my smartphone will do as a replacement for now).
I just made a donation to Andrey to this effect, but the PayPal form had me choose the amount myself. It would be nice if some sort of an estimate was made to tell us how much more money would be useful in order to get this work done.

The best feedreader I've ever tried. I miss it in Firefox 57. Any plan to update the extension to the new WebExtensions API?
Thanks a lot.

I would be more than happy to provide a donation if required!

This newsreader works perfectly, is easy to use, and is in the user's control. The database is kept in your filesystem wherever you want it, which makes it portable but completely in the users's control. This is the way RSS should work.
Note that Mozilla has flagged this as using legacy technology, which gives it access to all browser functions and data without requesting your permission. As the developer argues, it is safe to use because it is open source.
The addon's source code is publicly available, so that anybody could preform (or ask to) an independent review. You're much more exposed when installing certain operating systems and proprietary applications on your desktop or smartphone. Please, consider to review your judgement on this one, as for sure, even using legacy technology, NewsFox doesn't harm users in any way.

NewsFox is the best 3-pane feed reader in the market (even compared to paid versions).
And in the past, NewsFox has been totally stable for so many years, so reliable, fast, clean, never a real problem.
In my personal case, NewsFox is the ONLY reason I use Firefox.
Please, please, please... update it for Firefox 57... in the name of more than 25500 users, we beg you to update it! Thank you in advance.
Many thanks for kind words! Apart from begging, would at least some reasonable number of those 25K+ users consider a donation to support the update of NewsFox?

I believe that upgrade should be started with migration to some modern version control system to let people easily clone code and propose their patches, and I'd like to try taking part in the process if I could
It is a very tiny step the migration to some modern version control. Much more important question: would you consider a donation to support the development?

Is it possible to make this work with FF 57+, and if so, do you plan to do so?
We're thinking on it. Are you willing to help?

L'ideal pour moi serai d'avoir la possibilité de synchroniser Tiny Tiny RSS avec ce client.

Один из тех, которые держат на ФФ вообще. В связи с этим вопрос - разработка под WebExt планируется?
Спасибо за добрые слова! Согласны ли вы сделать денежное пожертвование, чтобы поддержать разработку под WebExt?

Спасибо за отличный RSS-reader.
Не хватает только уведомлений о новых сообщениях, которое есть в данном дополнении но не работает
Rated 4 out of 5 stars
3-pane style makes it the best reader for me.
Cons: Memory consumption seems a bit high but I switched to 64bit FF so no problem anymore. The only thing missing now is e10s compatibility. I really hope it can be fixed! Thank you.

После установки пароля на одну ленту, FireFox падать начал. Сейчас что-бы попасть в настройки, нужно само расширение запустить, после этого и идёт падение, иными словами, до настроек не добраться. Может лучше настройки отдельно сделать?
Мы учтем при разработке новых версий. По возможности, просьба создать запись-баг на http://newsfox.mozdev.org/bugs.html и указать ссылку на ленту, может пригодиться в разборе "падения".

Years using it, and so far nothing compares to this simple but efficient solution.

This is the only one doing job like it should: gives me te native feeling, lets me delete unwanted items, allows selecting multiple items etc
Unfortunately it is a bit broken on e10s, main tab won't open (even after removing the check) BUT if you bookmark its address it seems to work quite fine, will test further. Anyway, it would be really nice if it gets updated to work like it should with e10s

feature req: format embedded content (video) as HTML5 to eliminate Flash dependency
bug/feature req: when deleting a feed from a custom folder, the feed should be deleted from the Feeds folder
bug/feature req: Newsfox is often unable to get the site favicon, even though Firefox is always able to (when there is one) - NF should get the icon same as FF
