How to Remove Firefox RSS Auto Preferences

Mozilla Firefox includes a feed preview feature that shows the contents of RSS and Atom feeds in a browser window after you click them. You can subscribe to the page with Firefox's Live Bookmarks or your preferred reader from the preview page after seeing the contents of the feed. You can bypass this preview page in the feature by clicking a check box on the preview page, which causes Firefox to skip the preview pages and automatically subscribe to feeds in your selected feed reader. You can remove this automatic subscribing preference by re-enabling the preview page for each type of feed.

Instructions

1. Click the "Firefox" button at the top of the Mozilla Firefox window.

2. Click "Options" at the right side of the Firefox menu that appears.

3. Click the "Applications" tab in the "Options" window.

4. Type "Feed" without quotes into the search box at the top of the applications pane.

5. Click the drop-down box to the right of "Web Feed" in the actions column and click "Preview in Firefox."

6. Click the "X" button at the right side of the search box and type "Podcast" without quotes into the search box.

7. Click the drop-down boxes to the right of "Podcast" and "Video Podcast" and click "Preview in Firefox" for each.
