Right-click in Firefox to Subscribe in FeedDemon
“Inspired” isn’t the word.
“Edited” may well be, however :-)
After seeing the NewsGator/Firefox right-click to subscribe plugin by Stuart Hamilton, I got jealous, so I’ve grabbed it and created a new plugin to work with FeedDemon. Stuart, hope you don’t mind.

Torsten Rendelmann also created a generic feed URI extension, but FeedDemon doesn’t support that yet (although it will when Nick is well enough to finalise version 1.1). Am I right in thinking that the feed URI scheme won’t work if you use a service like Bloglines?
Anyway, try it out and let me know if it works; there may be a problem with installing it to a user profile rather than application wide, but that hasn’t been verified. You should just be able to click the above link to trigger the install; if not, save the .xpi file to disk, then drag and drop it onto the Firefox browser window. You’ll need to restart Firefox to enable the extension.

I can’t see any reason for the error. I’ve tried with FeedDemon 1.0 and 1.10RC1 (both in the default install directory). The FD install directory can be changed by looking at the options for the extension.
Something of a pain when I can’t replicate the error :-( I’ll keep looking, though.
