Thank you for this extension very useful after the RSS feature dropping by Mozilla. I need to copy rss link in address bar (or in the page preview) and paste it to my Netvibes pages. I have installed rsspreview 1.1 but I don't see the icon in address bar, This happen on Firefox 64 beta3.

(Suggestion) I don't know what your icon color but please consider the orange very good for all light and dark themes.

Hi,

This extension doesn't include the feed detection and address bar button features.

For now the only thing it does is restore the preview page when visiting an rss feed url.

I might add the feed detection later but my personal use is the preview page so that was my priority.

In the meantime, this extension seem to handle the detection/button part: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/erinome-rss-detector/

Check also the https://github.com/nt1m/livemarks code here, especially the /contentscripts folder, as this adds a functionality to RSS-detection. Maybe there could be a chance for adding this detecting functionality? Detect by showing an icon with a menu of existing feeds on page, then when the user clicks on a specific one, it opens a new tab, where the already existing preview functionality just fires up!

From a personal perspective, RSS-discoverability + RSS-preview would be just perfect, without any other bloated features/functionality. (so, then leaving the option to the user to continue as they want; if they need more RSS features, they can check other applications or services).
