View Source of RSS Feed in Firefox

Last updated on:

Firefox likes to assume when you click on a link to an RSS feed that you want to subscribe to it in some fashion. That might be true most of the time, but sometimes you just want to see the source of the RSS.

To view the source of an RSS feed, just append "view-source:" in the address bar before the feed address, like this:

view-source:http://today.wisc.edu/events/tag/humanities.rss

  1. Yes! This is so helpful. Thank!

  2. Great tip, thanks

  3. Or just hit Ctrl+U to view the source like any other page. This works in Chrome too.

  4. Thanks for this tip. Google kept trying to be helpful and put the feed into my reader but sometimes you just need a ton of output.
