To clarify: microrss v1.7 is compatible with older kmeleon as well as new (afaik). No need for double versions.

re: feed subscribing enhancement
I think it can be done, sort of. The string you posted looks like it just a small subapplication that puts the feed info into the subscribe file. 
But where to put it? If you notice, you can't move feeds around in microrss, just their order in a folder and the order of folders. Do you have any suggestions how to handle this? A large part of microrss is just the control that displays the tree of folders; if the small subapplication displays that it might make it significantly bigger. Alternative suggestions welcomed, but there is another problem as well.

Also, it would not show up if you were running microrss at the same time, worse yet, it could be overwritten (erased) if you are running microrss and you do anything that causes a change to the subscription file (even the state of folders open/close is in there). Because the version saved in the file ( with the new subscription) will be overwritten with what's changed in the running microrss. I'm not sure how to handle that...  ideas welcome!

The traditional way to load a feed into microrss is to get the add feed dialog, go back to the window where the feed is from, drag the url into the dialog. This got broken by a bug in XUL, and is not so convenient now that tabbed browsing is the norm. Generally it's easiest now to "Copy link URL" and paste it in.

@ndbord
There is no way you can make your old icon point to microrss without editing the toolbar config files. You would delete the part referring to newsfox and paste in the parts referring to microrss. Personally, I wouldn't bother. But you didn't tell me if microrss is even working? Is your only problem the appearance of the toolbars then?

If by preferences, you mean about:config list of thousands of prefs, changing those will not remove or alter what you want. I would think that by just unchecking newsfox in the preferences:macro extension check boxes, it will go away.

If you are really desperate you could send me your toolbars.cfg and I could patch it up for you.[/quote]
