automatic RSS feed display in Firefox

No sooner am I blagging on about "live bookmarks" in Firefox and how handy they are and I come across a fantastic extension that's probably even better .

It's called "RSS panel" and can be picked up here .

What it does is automatically check a page for an RSS feed . If it finds one it places a thin banner neatly in the top left of the web page - see pic 1 .

The banner can be rolled down to reveal all of the page's entries ( see pic 2 )- i.e. lists , photo albums or whatever . It can also be dragged and dropped on the screen to suit .

Now , this extension is just the dog's nadgers - works on all pages and does it all behind the scenes without any input necessary from you and it's small and pretty .

You've just gotta try it !
