As I have stated previously, Firefox is totally useless as an RSS aggregator
for blind users as long as it provides no audible notification when feeds
are encountered. Neither FS nor Mozilla is apparently interested in
addressing this accessibility issue, and this add on is of little help.

You can use Firefox or Thunderbird.
An additional add on for Firefox as RSS Reader is "Feedsidebar".
Marco Zehe, Mozilla's Accessibility QA Engineer, has written a patch to
improve the accessibility of the add on.
It is already included in the current version.
You can downlaod the xpi-file here:
