Description Stefan Borggraefe 2006-05-14 20:58:51 UTC 
Version:           1.2.2 (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

Firefox 2.0 will have an option to configure your favorite feed reader (which is of cource aKregator ;-) ). Clicking the feed icon then tries to add the selected feed to the configured reader. To do this Firefox simply calls

akregator <url>

instead of

akregator --addfeed <url>

It would be nice if aKregator accepted the command line syntax Firefox 2.0 tries to use.

To try this out download Firefox 2.0 Alpha2 from http://download.mozilla.org/?product=bonecho-alpha2&os=linux&lang=en-US and configure the option in the dialog "Edit|Preferences|General|Choose Feed Reader...".

Another option would be to write a quick little shell script called addFeed.sh which contains 

----
#!/bin/sh

akregator --addfeed "$@" 
----

and then tell Firefox to call that.
