One of the few annoyances I have found with Firefox 2.0 is there was no way for me to add Rojo in as my feed reader of choice. By default, if you don’t use one of the recommended ones, you are out of luck for right now. I decided to look around to see if I could find a solution though.
1. The first thing you need to do is go into about:config. Just type “about:config” into your address bar.
2. Now the second thing you need to do is decide which feed reader you are going to replace. I replaced the Google Feed Reader with Rojo.
Now scroll down in about:config till you find the string called:
browser.contentHandlers.types.2.title
Right-click this string and choose “Modify”. Now get rid of the name that is there, and add the name of your new feed reader. (I typed “Rojo” in this box) Then hit “OK”.
3. Next you will need to look a little further down in about:config till you find the string called:
browser.contentHandlers.types.2.uri
Right-click this string and choose “Modify” again. This time you are going to have to change the URL that your service in question uses. In the place where the feed would go, put in “%s”. So for Rojo, I typed this into that box:
http://www.rojo.com/add-subscription?resource=%s
Then hit “OK”.
4. After you get done with that, restart Firefox 2. Go into Tools, then Options, then Feeds. If all goes well, you should see your feed reader of choice replacing the old selection you had. Instead of Google, I now have Rojo. Select your new option, hit “OK” and you are done!
Thank you for the tips.
I’ve elaborated a little more and included details for modifying prefs.js too.
Cheers!
Looks good, thanks for the tip!

Hi there,I am a professional drummer and I’ve came up with a dumb principle that permits me to have a 15 minutes time out every 1 hour of exercising. Now, each and every break I’ve to do one thing totally different, so usually I go to Yahoo and seek for the suggested last hour web site. It can be fun to do some thing diverse and to find out about new points each and every day. Btw, right now I am playing. List. Your web site is fantastic, I wish I could stay for a longer time, but I need to get back to play… The next time I’ll come to visit again.
