Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Typo Boy, can you try Google reader on a different browser?
Yeah, a good chance it is Firefov specific.RSS is way older than Google reader. Is GR really onlt decent RSS reader?
Mac or PC?

Bloglines (another free online reader) is OK. I switched from Bloglines to Google Reader due to Bloglines being down too much, but I don't know if it's improved since then.
I've never used a dedicated app for reading RSS feeds, but there are some good ones....
Give Feed Demon a try. It needs IE7 to be installed, though.
I use Google Reader with Firefox & XP on a PC and haven't had any trouble with it. The missus uses Bloglines on similar hardware and likes it.
I'll bet what is happening is that reader uner ff is making some hardware call the other software does not which hits a hardwarw flaw on my old machine,
whivh is y switching readers is my solution, tpos wrse than usual because typing on netbook keyboard,
you also might want to try purging your firefox cookies and open reader again.
there is a mobile google reader site as well.
