Just downloaded and installed Firefox 1.0 RC. And the first thing that jumped into my eyes is the little orange RSS icon at the lower right corner[1] (Slashdot is my home page :) ):

Curious, I clicked on it. And up popped a context menu asking me "Subscribe to 'Slashdot RSS'..."

Sure! I clicked.

The familiar "Add Bookmark" dialog showed up. I selected a spot for it to live. And it showed up in my bookmarks toolbar[2], along with all the top stories.

That is really Cool!

Now, come to think about it, there is a second story here. It has to do with the UI design of this new feature. It flows so naturally that I, without any preknowledge of this new feature, figured it out within seconds without wasting one mouse click or key stroke.

Now I'm going to post this blog entry and see if it shows up in my Firefox live bookmark.

Update: It did!
