I would rate this a 5, but i noticed a very annoying bug since a while..
Entries that i had marked as read, often are marked as unread again, after starting Firefox new.
Makes this Addon useless for me at the moment. So i rate only 3 Stars

Edit.
Will send a Bug report at Mozdev.org, had problems to login to my Account.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.0.9.3).

This is probably my favorite addon to Firefox - it simple and one of the most intuitive readers available.

After some of the recent Firefox updates, however, an issue has popped up. On refresh the bowser will lock up with the script error:

Script: chrome://newsfox/content/parser.js:439

I have tried adjusting the thread settings but it makes no difference. Any input on fixing this would be appreciated.

После перевода youtube на HTML5 ролики в ленте новостей не проигрываются. Теперь необходимо переходить на сайт или на youtube.

Es mi sustituto favorito para Google Reader.

Desde que murio Google Reader estuve probando muchos lectores Rss en version Web, de Escritorio y Movil: Newsfox me parecio el mejor.

De cuando en cuando da un error en que se rompe y tengo que desinstalar y reinstalar el complemento, preciosamente eso me esta pasando en este momento en Lubuntu 15.04 con Firefox 38 recien actualizado.

I like the clean, 3-panel layout.
Also, it is quite fast when the Display Style is set to "text".

However, it is missing two features:

1. Links to send posts to social media (in addition to the email link).

2. Search function.

UPDATE: I jury-rigged a social media link in Linux as follows:

1) Create a bash script as follows:

#!/bin/bash
# remove the 'mailto' section of the link, leaving only the post's URL:
URL=$( echo $1 | cut -d"=" -f3 )
# send the post's URL to the appropriate address:
firefox --new-tab https://plus.google.com/share?url=${URL}

2) Make this bash script executable.

3) Click the mail icon, then click "Choose an Application", navigate to your bash script, and choose it.

I love this addon. It's simply designed and easy to use, however it needs a search feeds function.

This version seemed to cure my previous issues regarding this add-on. Even though it throws XML errors as the review before mine noted, these XML issues are actually being handled now. I believe these previously unhandled errors were randomly crashing my computer upon reading some feeds.
