As a devotee of Firefox and an avid user of Google Reader, I can't believe I never noticed this feature. Thanks for sharing! Unbelievable!

Click "Settings" (by your email address in the upper right corner). 2. Go to the "Goodies" tab. 3. Scroll down to "Subscribe as you surf." 4. Follow the directions. The Subscribe button works in IE6, IE7, Firefox, and Safari from the testing I've done. With everything other than Safari, you have to make sure that the Bookmarks or Links toolbar is visible so you can add the Subscribe button to it. (Safari shows the Bookmarks toolbar by default, from what I understand.) You can also just subscribe from the actual blog page; you don't need to go to the page with the feed. Google Reader is pretty good about finding a feed if there is one available. However, if there are multiple feeds and the one you want isn't listed first, you might need to go directly to the feed page. No copying and pasting of URLs required! Hope this helps.
