5 years ago hm this is a bit weird
the decision to download or display in firefox is based on the content-type sent by the server, when it's something like application/rss+xml firefox will ask for download, when it's text/xml it will display the contents
there is a trick in the extension to force displaying rss feeds by changing the content-type sent by the server when it's not good - however it seems like this trick doesn't work all the time
the first case where it fails is when the feed is in the cache, since cached requests don't have their headers reprocessed, the trick doesn't work
in your case it looks like it fails because of a redirect - https://www.buzzsprout.com/46291.rss redirects to https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/46291.rss
when visiting that latter url (which also sends application/rss+xml), the trick works and the feed is displayed instead of downloaded - but when it's reached after a redirect it doesn't seem to work
i'll investigate further to see why that fails, in the meantime try to use the final urls if you can
thanks for the report
It might just be my Firefox setup, but feeds ending in .rss get downloaded to the windows temp folder and then opened into firefox from there rather than just loading in the browser automatically like other feeds.
For example: https://www.buzzsprout.com/46291.rss
Firefox treats it like a file type rather than a feed
I don't really want these rss files filling up windows temp
In the Applications section of Firefox options .rss files get set to 'save file' even after I try to set it back to default
