Do they not? I thought FF put an icon in the address bar.

It used to.

Now you need an extension for desktop. And I have yet to find an extension that works on mobile.

Chrome is basically the same except that mobile doesn't support extensions at all.

I’ve stopped using Chrome when they locked non-official builds out of Sync, but people say they’ve added an RSS reader recently?

Firefox removed support for RSS back in 2018. It would've been great to get first class support from the browser but I understand their motivations for deprecating support.
