Sorry to bother you, but adding feeds to liferea via firefox isn't possible. I have NO idea how to manage this and it's getting a bit annoying by now. Akregator wasn't working with firefox so I switched to liferea but...no improvement at all. Any idea is appreciated.
Thanks, Susu

Done.
If liferea isn't open when you try to add a feed, it will try to open it.

Sorry if I haven't make myself clear. I exactly tried what you wer suggesting. But it isn't working. Maybe you can try it yourself?!

Hmm. Works fine for me as long as liferea is running. I get
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.

Not working for me! No way. Don't know how to check, what went wrong. Ideas?
Edit: I was running KDE from kdemod repo...

I've been trying to find a solution for DAYS now.
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.

I've "solved" the problem by installing swiftweasel (for Athlon64). Now everythings working fine.

I have the same problem!

It's just not working. And no way of getting it to do so.
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?

Guy #2: Dude, I'd hit that so hard whoever could pull me out would become the King of England.

As I wrote it's working fine with swiftweasel - it's just a processor-optimized build of firefox. Don't know what's different though... You can try swiftweasel via AUR (or yaourt).

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.
