I think something is missing during translation here. The extension I
recommended *doesn't* require any additional hacks -- Whereas the one
you're using does. I recommended the newer one, simply because most
people didn't like the one you're using, as it needed other extensions
installed to work. All you have to do is read the comments on Bugzilla
to understand what I'm talking about.
In my mind an extension that requires other extensions to work, isn't
a well written extension. <shrug>
For that reason alone, I would recommend that you refer people to the
new one.

Incidentally if you're already using T-Bird for e-mail, why wouldn't you
use it to read RSS? seems strange that a browser would be used. XML/RSS
feeds are better in my opinion when read like e-mail. Especially with
the frequency that most RSS feeds are updated. To each their own
I guess.
