Rated 4 out of 5 stars

The add-on shows up in the list of add-ons to Thunderbird, but when I had installed it, I could not for the life of me understand where to configure it, how to specify any feeds or for that matter read the feeds. I went through all the menus, icons, customization options, preferences, accounts - but if it was there, it was well camouflaged! Perhaps it was conflicting with something else, but the additional add-ons I have installed are stuff that I am not willing to give up in order to have a rss reader in Thunderbird 8.0.

Update: It seems to work nicely in Firefox, though. Just one typo I've noticed: where it's saying "Mark as readed", I guess it should be "Mark as read".

Update2: Ok, thanks for the response; it explained it all. In order to save some screen estate, I had moved all icons out of the mail toolbar and closed that. And somehow it never crossed my mind that that could be the culprit. Thank you; updating rating.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.0.1.1-signed).

Thanks for the review.

After installing the add-on, the button should be added to the mail toolbar.
If it does not work you can find the button in the pallete (Menu "View", "Toolbars", "Customize") and add it everywhere in the interface.

The next version will add a way to open the reader from the "Tools" menu.
