by Village Cat Dad, 7 years agoYay! Brief is back! Love this extension. Simple, straightforward, and works well. Had moved away from it due to it not being maintained, and used Bamboo. Had to shift to away from that because of FF57. Used FeedBro for a few days, hated it. Glad to see Brief show up in the supported FF57 extensions. Made my day!

消したはずのRSSが復活して、今更新を待っているものがリストから消えた。とても困っています。対処方法はありますか?Developer response
posted 2 months agoSounds like your feed list has grown too much and Firefox Sync is stuck with an old version. That means you'll need to export the feed list from the old device and import it on the new one. - Rated 5 out of 5by Cirnos, 2 months agoJust perfect: I can customise it to my liking and it's free as in freedom!
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18569313, 4 months agoThis was good once but since one of the FFs in the late 110s it just doesn't run. It's possible to tell it's there - options menus exist, some websites show the subscribe icon, but there's no obvious way to open the reader itself and it may have lost the feed list.
Update: see the response below, this is due to FF UX jank. Click on the "puzzle piece" extensions button, sight the list of extensions, right click on Brief, pick "Pin to toolbar" from the dropdown.Developer response
posted 4 months agoThe extension button to open the reader view is likely behind the Firefox new "Extensions" button (puzzle piece icon). You should be able to pin it to toolbar from there using the context menu. - Rated 4 out of 5by Breno, 7 months agoplease add embed videos content to play on the feed i need this for youtube using iframe

posted 7 months agoThank you for the feedback. As far as I know there's currently no way to do this in a reasonable and secure enough way. I'm tracking related issues and will recheck whether something has changed to allow this.
If you're interested, this request is being tracked here: https://github.com/brief-rss/brief/issues/341 - Rated 5 out of 5by djarr, 8 months ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by Guido, 2 years agoI have used brief for several years, and think it's great. For the past 2 days it will not load any sites - it's just blank. Suggestions?
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12685044, 2 years agoAny updates on the search box?
This feeds reader is the best and most flexible you could possibly find for browsers, in my opinion. It was fantastic, until the search box stopped working. The search box is the absolutely essential base part of this reader. It enabled searching through abstracts and reduce the posts only to matches. Otherwise, reading through 10000 entries per day is impossible. Almost 5 years past, but the search option still not working. I'd be willing to pay the developers to get the search box working. - Rated 3 out of 5by użytkownik, 2 years agoDodatek używam od bardzo dawna ale ostatnio coś się popsuło. Wersja brief 2.6.1 - Firefox: 102.0.1 64bit,
OS: Linuks 64bit. Kiedyś automatycznie otwierało nową kartę po kliku np. na ">" - teraz nie!, a ostatnio automatycznie brief kasuje czytaną wiadomość po wyświetleniu jej. Po dodaniu do zakładek, również kasuje wiadomość po wyświetleniu - raczej tak nie powinno być!.
Dlaczego tak się dzieje teraz?.
EDIT!. ff. 103.0
Oznaczenie wiadomości jako przeczytana również ją kasuje - w zakładkach także.
Dodatek pomału staje się uciążliwy w użytkowaniu - jak rozwiązać te problemy? - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 16861328, 2 years agoHave used this for years and still my favourite, but as mentioned before I cannot re-order my feeds anymore. Can anyone help?

- Rated 4 out of 5by tama, 4 years agoGreat addon! I really enjoy it.
But one thing I wish to be fixed. Brief doesn't work when I move my firefox profile from default folder to other drive . - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14200416, 4 years agoSeems to be broken. Cannot subscribe to feeds at all, as the mechanism for subscribing seems to be absent. I cannot set Brief as my default RSS reader. Sorry, brief, this one needs some work before it can become useful.
