Sorry for bumping such an old post.
But FYI. This problem *still* exists today. I can add a feed to liferea from firefox *only* if liferea is already running whitch *completly* defeats the purpose of adding a feed from firefox. If I need to manually launch liferea then I might as well just copy-and-paste the feed URL into liferea manually. A minor annoyance that has *never* been fixed.
And bumping something from 2007 is going to help.... how?
At least get in contact with the liferea/firefox (liferea's blog is still kinda active, I'm subscribed though I don't use it anymore, firefox has a bug tracker) people.
Closing, this may still be an issue but simply complaining about it achieves nothing.

]]>So don't even try . I have had the same problems as Susu when I moved from Opera back to Firefox Beta - I wanted a newsreader, but Liferea just doesn't work that way.
Maybe there's something amiss with the code - so my suggestion is to go and fix it. But I don't have the time to right now, maybe when the holidays are over.
In the meantime, I've nearly finished a script that migrates feeds from opera to liferea. Alternatively, maybe I could make it work by just reading in a list of feed URLs...
Anyone interested?
]]>liferea-add-feed $URL
is working from CLI but firefox refuses to add the feed to liferea. I was getting an DBUS error according to networmanager when running liferea from CLI but I fixed that - anyway, no change in behaviour with firefox.
]]>Edit: I was running KDE from kdemod repo...
]]>Liferea is not running! You need to start it first.
as an error if Liferea hasn't started yet.
After that, clicking on the orange RSS box adds a feed.
]]>Done.
If liferea isn't open when you try to add a feed, it will try to open it.
]]>Thanks, Susu
