ex-pocketeer here and I'm with you guys on a lot of this - honestly the acquisition was confusing to me vis a vis mozilla's most important core values

all that said, I learned just now that firefox had RSS/ATOM support. Public open standard feeds should never die, but how was this in-browser feature ever useful?

You clicked an RSS icon in the URL bar. A page would pop up, showing the RSS feed styled. Below you would have the choice to subscribe with any configured feed reader, be it desktop or web-service. Totally fit into the browser as a standard tool.
