Sounds like either a bug in Firefox on openSuse where downloads have the wrong scheme (https:// instead of file://) or something in URL parsing in akreagator, possibly due to not supporting downloaded files.

Can you confirm that akreagator is capable of opening and working with downloaded files?

In an upcoming release, I'll be adding an option for copy to clipboard to assist with subscribing. Unfortunately, Firefox's recent removal of support for RSS/LIve Bookmarks as well as registering content handlers has left me with a lot of work to do, so it's taking a while.

In point 7 I indicate that the url used by akregator is "https:///tmp/mozilla_user0/0ZFsmr25.atom" It's a wrong url. A right url is "file:///tmp/mozilla_user0/0ZFsmr25.atom" I conclude that akregator does not know how to deal with a file.

I confirm this using contextual menu to open "/tmp/mozilla_user0/0ZFsmr25.atom". Again akregator want to use "https:///tmp/mozilla_user0/0ZFsmr25.atom".

I assume this is an akregator bug.
