You discovered one of Firefox's major shortcomings: you can't use its
built-in RSS feed reader. Unlike IE which maintains a list of RSS feeds
separate from the Favorites list, Firefox keeps RSS feeds in the same list as
Bookmarks and marks them as Live Bookmarks. Unfortunately, Live Bookmarks are
distinguished from other Bookmarks only by color and there is no way for JAWS
to identify them. And Firefox provides no means of determining which feeds
contain updated content; in IE, feeds with updated content are labeled as
"new". Even if you could import your feeds from IE, neither JAWS nor Firefox
provides any audible alert that a feed has been discovered on a web page. So,
for all intents and purposes, the RSS feed reading function of Firefox is
inaccessible with JAWS, and your best bet is to stick with IE for this purpose.
