Change the way Firefox opens feed-links
Monday, March 2nd, 2009The other day I thought it was a good idea to check “Always use … to subscribe to feeds”, when I opened a feed-link in Firefox, but then I got a shortened tweet with a direct link to a feed, which I had to copy and paste. Since TinyURL was hiding the actual link, and Firefox opened the live bookmars right away, I couldn’t see what the actual link was.
Now, I though that was a pain in the butt, so I wanted to change that. I scratched myself behind the ear, asking myself “where in hell am I going to find that?”. After looking around in Firefox, clicking every wrong tab, going through all the menu’s, all the options, I found it in the spot where I least expected it. But now that I think of it: It’s a very logical place to put it. For the ones with the same problem, here’s the answer:
Preferences > Applications > Web feed.
