The extension follows your browser's language, or the one you pick in the settings.
- Keep stubborn feeds updated. After you use "Fix in my browser" on a feed our server can't reach, FeedBro offers to keep that feed updated from your browser. The first check runs a minute after Firefox starts.
- A quicker start. If you're signed in but don't follow any feeds yet, the popup shows a "Choose what to follow" button.
- Feeds opened in a tab. When you follow a feed from its own tab, FeedBro reads the feed itself, not the page Firefox displays around it.
- Clearer wording across the extension in every language.

• Watch this page: follow any page that has no RSS feed (a newsroom, a careers page, an online shop or a Google Shopping search) and get its new posts, products and price changes. From the popup or the right-click menu.
• "Follow this site" on a site with no feed now offers to watch the page instead.
• Watched pages are marked "Web" in your feed lists.
• An article's main picture now shows once, not twice.
• Fix in my browser: load an article that didn't come through properly in your own browser and bring it into FeedBro.
• Reddit, RedGIFs and YouTube videos play inside the reader.
• Articles with a location can be viewed on a map.Source code released under All Rights Reserved
Version 0.5.5
Released Sep 30, 2026 - 128.74 KBWorks with firefox 142.0 and later• Fixed: the "Loaded from…" note could show a previous article's site.
• "Mark read when I scroll past it" now also marks an article read when you reach its end.Source code released under All Rights Reserved
Version 0.5.4
Released Sep 29, 2026 - 128.14 KBWorks with firefox 142.0 and laterVersion 0.5.4
• Follow any feed you open: viewing an RSS or Atom feed directly in your browser now shows a Follow button.
• Finds more feeds: RSS links on a page are recognised, not just feeds declared in the page header.
• New "Follow this site" button: on pages without a visible feed, FeedBro looks for the site's feed and follows it for you.

Version 0.5.3
Released Sep 24, 2026 - 122.27 KBWorks with firefox 142.0 and later0.5.3 is 0.5.2 with two fixes:
• Connecting your account opens the Extension tab in settings, rather than
landing on Reading.
• In Cards, the thumbnail moved to the right-hand side so every headline
starts at the same left edge. Previously an article with a picture
indented its title and one without did not, which made a mixed list step
in and out down the page.Source code released under All Rights Reserved
Version 0.5.2
Released Sep 24, 2026 - 122.88 KBWorks with firefox 142.0 and laterNew in 0.5.2
• A full-page reader. Open it from the toolbar button or with Alt+Shift+R: your
folders on the left, articles in the middle, the full article text in place —
no need to leave for the website.
• The extension now fetches articles itself, in your browser, instead of asking
our server to fetch them. Sites that only answer to a real browser — intranet
pages, anything behind a company login, feeds that block data-centre traffic —
work now, because the request comes from your machine with your own cookies.
This uses an optional permission that is requested from a button inside the
extension, never at install time, and can be withdrawn at any point.
• What the reader extracts is saved to your FeedBro account, so an article you
have already opened reads the same on your phone or on the website.
• Per-feed controls: rename a feed, set how often it refreshes, how many
articles to keep, and the sort order — per feed, and only for you.
• Light, dark and sepia themes, plus keyboard shortcuts (j/k, m, s, o, ?), both
shared with the website through your account.
• Collections, read-later and unread counts stay in step with feedbro.com in
both directions.Source code released under All Rights Reserved

The right-click menu now says "Fix this page on FeedBro". It works on articles and on RSS/Atom feed pages.
Fixing a feed page that FeedBro's servers can't reach now updates that feed straight from what your browser shows.
Clearer messages after a fix: "Updated … from your browser — N new articles" for feeds you already follow, and "Now following …" for new ones.Source code released under All Rights Reserved
