Firefox's new addon Rss ticker will be a worth installing stuff for you if you don't
want to install rss readers for keeping up with news around the world.Its a 56kb download.This is how firefox explains its agiltity.
RSS Ticker loads your Live Bookmarks and scrolls their entries across your screen while you surf. It's perfect for staying informed without having to actively browse entries in an RSS reader.
You can decide which of your Live Bookmarks you want scrolled in the ticker by checking or unchecking the box in the bookmark's properties dialog (right-click on the Live Bookmark in the Bookmarks menu and choose Properties), or by managing all of your feeds in the ticker's feed manager (in the RSS Ticker options dialog).
You can choose to have RSS Ticker shuffle all of the entries from all of the feeds so that you always have a variety of links showing in the ticker, and since RSS Ticker shows the feed's favicon (favorite's icon) next to each entry, you'll know exactly which feed each entry is from.
How to add live bookmarks or rss feeds to firefox?
There are two ways to add a Live Bookmark in Firefox:
1. If the page you are looking at in your browser offers an RSS feed ( http://digg.com/ , for example), there will be a small orange icon on the right side of the address bar. If you click on that, it will open the "Add Live Bookmark" dialog.
2. In the Bookmarks Manager, (found under Bookmarks > Manage Bookmarks), there is an option under the File menu for "New Live Bookmark." Here you can put the location of the XML feed in the Location field.
After doing either of these steps, restarting Firefox or choosing "Refresh Feeds" from the Ticker's context menu will show the feed in the ticker.
