When you are visiting a website online, you may notice a 
icon light up in your Mozilla Firefox URL bar. If you see this, you know that the page you are browsing to contains web feeds:
When you click on the on the icon in the URL bar, you will be presented with a page that shows you the current items in the web feed, and options for subscribing:
At the top of the page there is a dropdown menu that contains different programs for subscribing to web feeds:
If you wish to use Firefox's bookmarks system (Live Bookmarks) to track your feeds, then you can just stick with the default "Live Bookmarks" option.
If you have a Bloglines, Google Reader or My Yahoo account, or use Outlook 2007 on your computer, then you may select those options from this dropdown as well.
