Subject: Add feed to Google Reader while using Firefox not working
I used to be able to add any feed to Google Reader just by clicking on
the RSS/Feed Icon in Firefox.  After the click, I was directed to a
page asking if I wanted to add the feed to my Google Home Page or to
Google Reader.  But now the only option available is adding it to my
Google Home Page, which is not what I want to do.... How do I fix
this???

The same is happening to me since August 22. Though Google Reader is a
must everyday for me (I have 102 suscriptions and counting), I prefer
the plain Google version as my homepage rather than the overloaded
iGoogle (I recall being a Google fan since its beginnings because of
its visual simplicity, against those overloaded Altavista and Yahoo!
searchers).
So please, if itīs some kind of error, I would really appreciate to
know how it could be fixed; if Google mates are considering to
automatically add feeds to Google Home Page, I donīt think itīs a good
idea.
I love Google Reader!

Hi,

This works for me:

1) Enter "about:config" into the address bar of the browser.

2) Search for "browser.contentHandlers.types.2.uri"

3) Change the value from "http://fusion.google.com/add?feedurl=%s" to
"http://www.google.com/reader/view/feed/%s"

4) Restart Firefox

Best Regards,
Mike

Thank you very much Mike, your proper and immediate answer worked for
me!
Any guess about the reasons for such a sudden change?

Best,
Nico.-

Hi everybody,

This is currently happening when either your browser or your Google
preferences are set to a default language other than English. Changing
your preferences to English would show you the regular page with both
iGoogle and Reader options. However, since I assume you'd probably
like to maintain your language settings, you might prefer to just
subscribe directly through Reader. (That is, log in to Reader, then
click "Add Subscription" and enter the feed URL there.) We're looking
into the issue, though.

Thanks,
Graham
