I would recommend using a more powerful news reader [1] like Sage [2],
though.

have the newest Firefox and Thunderbird extension feeds selected and
they are both showing "feed failed to load" for the last two days. The
site looks OK, and all my other RSS feeds (a couple of BBC sites and
Mozillazine) are fine.

completely changed, breaking all the RSS feeds. The new RSS feeds don't work
(yet?). Wouldn't it be a good idea if someone warned us when they were about
to make major changes? A note in the support newsgroups, or on Mozillazine?
The usual chaos seems to reign instead.

I mentioned this in #umo [1], and Cameron said he'd look into it.
They did change a lot of URLs, and I've encountered other issues with
the old ones not redirecting to the new ones properly, and this is
probably a case of that happening.

you're having problems with?
What would you have done differently if you'd known previously that the
addons website was going to be updated?
See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=332843 "Make old urls
redirect to v2 urls."

The new ones are a tad inaccurate too, unless they're still building

All that I have tried so far.

I wouldn't have wasted my valuable time trying to fix something that was
not fixable.

Sadly, they don't - the redirection fails.

The bug is not marked as fixed. Don't expect a redirection, until the
bug is marked as fixed.

Obviously no one's in a hurry, it's still the same. Unfortunately, not
only does the redirection not work, but the new feeds don't work if you
try to re-install them from scratch. I would have thought with a site of
some importance, that a dummy/test site would have been set up and
thoroughly checked out before releasing this one on Joe Public - it's a
big, very basic, cock-up to make in public.
