by Anatoli, 7 years agoHi! Nice add-on, thank you!
I've just experiencing one problem with my FF56@Ubuntu: when I right-click on the feeds in the tree view on the left, I get a common menu as on any page, but the help says I would get a menu to rename the feed and perform other actions. Could this be due to NoScript and uBlock origin? Of is this something with FF56?
It would be a 6-stars add-on if you could allow to place feeds on the bookmarks menu the same way the LiveClick add-on does it. I guess it won't take that much effort having the back-end already implemented. I suppose it could be placed there with drag&drop from the tree-view and with a checkbox from the feed options. You could get all their users with this feature as LiveClick won't be rewritten for WE (I'm one of them).
A small suggestion: could you please place the favicon of the feed below each article title (i.e. in "from ") and (optionally, with a check in settings) make the the same as the name one choses for the feed? E.g. for https://thehackernews.com feed I see now: "from The Hacker News by noreply@blogger.com (Mohit Kumar)". It could be replaced by: " ".

The right-click problem is a bit tricky to pin down. A few other users have reported it as well but we haven't been able to reproduce it on our Linux installations. Hard to say what is causing it. 3.30.0 has one extra preventDefault() call. Hopefully it fixes that issue for you. Please also ensure that in about:config you have key 'dom.event.contextmenu.enabled' set to true. If it's false, it disables right-click context menus.
Regarding the favicon suggestion there's now a new Option 'Use favicons in article "from line"' that enables the icons in view mode 2 and when expanding articles in other modes. Off by default because it can make the list look a bit "busy".
