1. Can you please post the feed URLs that don't work? (or send them to feedbro.reader@gmail.com please). In 99,99% of the cases the reason is that the feed is not valid XML or not valid RSS/Atom/RDF or has timezone set so that feed items are in the future.
2. Resizing should be a rare need but we'll see if a wider border looks ok.
3. In Options you can increase the feed scan interval to 1440 minutes (once every 24h). In the next version there's even longer period and option to disable it. Note however, that many feeds hold only the last 10-20 items. So if feeds aren't scanned in the background, you will lose many items completely.
3. "Autoscroll every time the last item is selected"? Can you elaborate? In the feed panel when you press next (either button or keyboard) the view scrolls automatically if next item is not on the screen.
4. You can use keyboard arrow keys to move to the next article if you hold Shift while doing it (Shift + right arrow = next, Shift + left arrow = previous, Shift + down arrow = next feed, Shift + up arrow = previous feed). The reason you cannot do it without Shift is that then you could not scroll the article with arrow keys which is an important feature when reading articles.
Note that you can also use 'p' (previous) and 'n' (next) shortcuts to move between articles. See the Help for all shortcuts available.

- Rated 4 out of 5by islisis, 20 days agoMost intuitive rss reader for FF I have found so far. I would like to ask the developer to consider the option to disable certain shortcut keys, as even when unset they override existing shortcuts in FF (such as alt-1...8 for selecting tabs in Linux.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Violeta Hernández Palacios, 24 days agoAs both a developer and a user, this is by far the most functional and flexible feed reader available.

- Rated 5 out of 5by lhommeatetedechouette, a month agoSpróbowałem i zmieniło to moje życie na lepsze ;) Wróciła radość z czytania i oglądania treści od swoich ulubionych, zaufanych twórców - bez reklam, rozpraszania i zakłócających odbiór, głupawych algorytmów nabijających kabzę milionerom. Trzeba trochę pogrzebać w ustawianiach, bo niektóre moim zdaniem ważne opcje (jak pobieranie całej treści artykułów, zamiast jedynie skrótu z początku) nie są domyślnie włączone, znaleźć swój ulubiony układ interfejsu i przyzwyczaić się nieco do tego jak działa - ale potem jest już tylko lepiej. Szkoda, że lista subskrypcji nie może być automatycznie backupowana bezpośrednio z Firefoxa - trzeba pamiętać o backupie do pliku przed reinstalacją rozszerzenia lub przeglądarki.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Georgios, a month agoIt needs an option to disable the unread feed entries count showing on the extension icon.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18454566, 2 months agoBeen looking for a simple, free, in-browser feed reader since Google reader died. This is it.
Imported my opml export from my old reader. It handles my podcast feeds and news feeds and is very customisable. - Rated 5 out of 5by Gunnar, 2 months agoGreat feed reader, highly customizable. One detail I like is the titles view where you for example can scroll various news headlines for all feeds in a folder and check single teasers by clicking on the title bar (not on the title link).

- Rated 3 out of 5by arsentical, 3 months agoMissing several features like the ability to undo deletions or have nested folder structures. These are things that really annoy me from time to time, but the rest of the functionality is good enough that I do recommend it. At the very least the developers do seem to be very open about bugs and other info.
