"Subscribe to This Page" browser feature breaks #386

When using the default Firefox Previewer for feeds (RSS/Atom), clicking on the "Bookmarks" > "Subscribe to This Page..." (or sub-menu item if applicable) does nothing (except closing the menu).

I imagine Request Policy is blocking the request in the background, but the user interface still shows policy information for the current page; it is thus impossible to allow the request.

Since the request is coming from the browser's chrome, I suggest that it should always be allowed.

I have the same issue. Even if I ad the policy "about:feeds" it does not work. I have to "disable blocking" to get RSS Subscription working.

Subscribing via the Feeds tab in the Page Info dialog (CTRL+I) works (as a workaround). Or, you know, CTLR+U, CTRL+F, (alternate|atom|rss|feed), select, CTRL+C, ALT+F4, CTLR+L, CTRL+V, ENTER ;).
