It seems Iceweasel is not launching external applications for RSS
subscription. Whatever application I'm trying it is not exec()ed.
I tried custom scripts (to see what was happening) and graphic
application accepting any kind of argument (like xterm). None of them is
launched by Iceweasel.
I tried an "strace -p my-pid -f -o /dev/stdout | fgrep my-application"
hoping to see an exec() or at least a stat() on the chosen application
but there is no output.
I tried an ltrace :
ltrace -o /dev/stdout -p 3526 -f | fgrep xterm
3526 strcmp("/usr/bin/xterm", "/usr/bin/xterm") = 0
3526 strlen("xterm") = 5
3526 strlen("xterm") = 5
3526 strlen("xterm") = 5
3526 strlen("xterm") = 5
3526 strlen("xterm") = 5
3526 strlen("xterm") = 5
3526 strlen("xterm") = 5
I'm running on testing + iceweasel from unstable, ix86.

Is it expected to run an external application? How did you configure
it to do that?

Now when you go to a webpage with RSS content and click on the RSS icon,
a page shows up asking you what to do and you can choose to open it with
your application but nothing happens ...
I tried with the corresponding version of Firefox and its working as
expected (your selected application is launched).

I don't actually see this preference anymore in Iceweasel 3.0.1. Is
this still a problem?

The option for choosing the feed application has moved to
"Edit/Preferences/Applications/Web feed".
It's working well for adding the feed in Iceweasel
but if you want to call an external application
(for example I'm using a script to add the feed to akregator,
but you can just use xterm for testing purpose)
it is failing silently if you don't have iceweasel-gnome-plugin
installed (nothing happens, without any error message,
and without any clue to the fact that this package
is missing for the feature to work).
It tried for other file types and the application get called
without the iceweasel-gnome-plugin package.

This should go away if you install iceweasel-gnome-support.

Or, if you don't want to install iceweasel-gnome-support, the attached
patch should work (you can apply it directly to
/usr/lib/iceweasel/components/FeedConverter.js )
