Firefox removes core product support for RSS/Atom feeds

Relative to usage? Because only 0.01% of Firefox users have ever used Live Bookmarks.

I don't know how many use Pocket but I would be shocked it it wasn't far higher.

As someone who has used Firefox almost exclusively since 2004 (ok, there was a year or two of Opera in there...) and as the sort of power user who continues to doggedly consume RSS to this day... yeah, I've never used Live Bookmarks. I remember seeing them in my bookmarks bar on fresh Firefox installs back in the day. The interface just wasn't amenable to my use patterns, and Google Reader was (these days I'm on Feedly).

I too never got Live bookmarks.

I'm using feedbro now.

As a user that did use Live bookmarks I would be pretty pissed off if anyone merely by my usage counted me as an excuse to keep supporting that nonsense. I use pocket now - lightly. It's still heck of a lot better than live bookmarks.

Live bookmarks never worked very well, now did it?

What percentage of people complaining about this are actually using the RSS support in FF itself at this moment?
