Do you have HTTPS-only mode enabled in Firefox? Switching that off fixed it for me.

Thanks for the response.

I do. That did fix it. Since slashdot seems to be the most notable site that has the issues ( I’m not aware of any other RSS feed with the issue ) , it would be nice to know what they are doing that causes the problem and pass it on ( and be disappointed that they don’t change anything ).

Cheers,

Juniper

They need to host their RSS feed with HTTPS support, i.e. https://rss.slashdot.org/Slashdot/slashdotMain should work.
