Cannot reproduce with firefox-2.0.0.10-3.fc8 and liferea-1.4.10-1.fc8 (true, this is i386; unfortunately I don't have F8 on x86_64 here). Just to be sure, what happens when you run liferea-add-feed http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/ongoing.atom ?
from the command line running liferea-add-feed <src> works as expected. Still get the same error in firefox subscribing to www.tbray.org/ongoing. googling around showed ubuntu had a reported problem with this -- but they didn't say what the fix was :(
At this point, we're going to only be taking security fixes and major stability fixes into this release of Fedora. However, we still want to ensure the bug is fixed in the next version. We'd appreciate if you could test Firefox 3, available at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-beta.html or now shipping as the default in Fedora rawhide and provide feedback as to whether it still exists so we can file a ticket upstream to try to fix it in Firefox 3 before it is released.
In that case I'll leave it until I upgrade to fedora 9 and test it again then. I don't care enough about this to start installing beta software
That's why we mentioned upstream binary tarballs -- it is OK just to unpack tarballs in any directory on your system (including under your $HOME) and then run the firefox out of such directory. That’s BTW exactly what I am doing right now (running FF3 from ~/redhat/firefox3/ on Fedora 8).
I downloaded the firefox 3 beta 32 bit and I'm running from its own directory. It can successfully add feeds to liferea, I tried both RSS & ATOM from www.theregister.co.uk. But there doesn't seem to be a 64 bit version of the beta, at least I couldn't find it -- so I guess I'm not testing the same thing. (BTW -- firefox 3 has some problems in that can't find the theme engine "nodoka") So I still can't really say if the problem is fixed.
I think there shouldn't be that much difference between i386 and x86_64 for this. Let's say it has been fixed and you would reopen if it isn't, right? :-)
