Summary: Feature Request for RSS Feed

Comments: 
First of all, thanks for a great browser!

Here are couple of requests for features regarding RSS Feed.

1. Ability to change/retain icon for RSS feed button on
bookmark(toolbar). ie www.getfirefox.com RSS feed bookmark button would
have icon from www.getfirefox.com icon, not the RSS feed icon used for
all RSS feeds. (All the RSS Feed bookmark button looks the same. Without
text description, I wouldn't be able to tell which RSS feed icon/button
is for which site. On bookmark toolbar, there isn't enough real estate
to put more than 9-10 RSS feed buttons with text descriptions. I erase
text descriptions of bookmark on bookmark toolbar and use the icons of
the websites to identify websites. It saves space on bookmark toolbar
and I can easily identify which bookmark button is for which website by
looking at the icons. I would like to be able to do the same for RSS
feeds so that I can have all of my favorite RSS feed button on bookmark
toolbar without text descriptions and still be able to identify which
site the button is for. I hope this makes sense... )

2. on the drop down list on RSS Feeds from the bookmark, it would be
helpful if we can have the original website on the top of the list with
a separator to distinguish it from RSS feed. ie for RSS feed bookmark
button for www.getfirefox.com, top of the list would have link for home
page of www.getfirefox.com and then list the latest RSS feeds after a
separator. This way we can have one button for RSS feeds and the home
page of the website in case we want to view the home page of the
website. The properties page can have an additional space to specify the
home page of the RSS Feed.

So with the above two features, I would have a bookmark toolbar with
mostly RSS feed buttons represented by website icons without text
description (which would let me put most if not all of the site I
frequently access on one bookmark toolbar) and I will be able to access
latest RSS feeds from the drop down list and go to the home page if I
desire or go to the latest RSS feed.

If anyone made it this far... thanks for reading. Firefox is a great
browser and you guys probably have a lot of ideas for it already.
Hopefully the above ideas and included in those... but if not... hey you
never know. Feel free to contact me at above e-mail for any reason. Thanks!
