How to Sync an RSS Aggregator With Firefox
The Firefox Web browser lets you view RSS feeds as Live Bookmarks that are displayed in the browser's Bookmarks toolbar. By default, Firefox does not have OPML support, so you cannot import the RSS feeds from your RSS aggregator into the browser. Through the use of an add-on, however, you can add OPML support to the browser and sync the browser with your RSS aggregator of choice.
