Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.5
If I click on the feed icon in the address bar, I get a choice of possible web-based RSS readers to add my feed. I'd like to add my feed to Thunderbird, but it's neither listed nor does it help to choose Thunderbird with "Choose Application" because this is just ignored.
Usability feature request: list all installed RSS readers on the system, just as it's done with the web-based RSS readers, and make it possible to actually add the RSS feeds from there.

Thank you for reporting this to Ubuntu. This seems like a great idea. I think there was already a bug report for this though, so I will have to search for that. Otherwise, I'll submit it upstream. Thank you for trying to make Ubuntu better. Please report any other issues you may find.
