- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18569313, 2 months agoThis was good once but since one of the FFs in the late 110s it just doesn't run. It's possible to tell it's there - options menus exist, some websites show the subscribe icon, but there's no obvious way to open the reader itself and it may have lost the feed list.
Update: see the response below, this is due to FF UX jank. Click on the "puzzle piece" extensions button, sight the list of extensions, right click on Brief, pick "Pin to toolbar" from the dropdown.Developer response
posted 2 months agoThe extension button to open the reader view is likely behind the Firefox new "Extensions" button (puzzle piece icon). You should be able to pin it to toolbar from there using the context menu. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14200416, 4 years agoSeems to be broken. Cannot subscribe to feeds at all, as the mechanism for subscribing seems to be absent. I cannot set Brief as my default RSS reader. Sorry, brief, this one needs some work before it can become useful.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15215225, 5 years agowould be nice if any of the instructions for adding a feed were current. Hard to use when you can't any content -go ahead try to add the bbc feeds using your instructions. already moving on to some thing else.

Откатил на Версию 2.5.5 и все снова заработало. - Rated 1 out of 5by AlexKOP, 7 years agoХорошая попытка , но я уже привык, пока вы раскачивались, к Feedbro. Более всего огорчает открытие текущей новости в неактивной вкладке! Ну бесит же !!! Поддержка видео не работает... Тем не менее остаюсь горячим поклонником BRIEF, и желаю разработчикам успехов!!!

- Rated 1 out of 5by PsY, 7 years agoLooks like the nicest RSS Reader in existance BUT: Not working in Firefox Developer Edition Version 60.0b4 46-bit
Can't see any contents on the big right side area (it states "no items") and on the left hand menu there are items that I can open up (under the feed name), but they do not have any title/text. So I do recognize that there are items as I have the arrows I can click at that show that they contain content, but there's just no text there.
I tried adding:

The feeds themselves are working. I thought I would try to remove the addon and reinstall it, but it retains whatever messed up data that is causing the problem. Is it just me who's having this problem, or has nobody noticed? If it were just one or even two feeds I wouldn't have noticed for maybe weeks. But I have at least five out of 30 feeds that are broken. No apparent way to "reset" the addon.
- Rated 1 out of 5by hyper_2002, 7 years agoNot working any more on FF 60.0.1 . You can't add new feeds to Brief.

posted 7 years agoBrief no longer uses Live Bookmarks as WebExtensions don't have access to them. Some way to import them will be added in the near future. If you still have a Firefox 56 profile, I'd suggest exporting the feed list in Brief there and importing in the new profile.
