Hi Mark,

yes, it is. Here I had a different problem: The Page with the dropbox had gone, I cant tell whether I accidentally checked "always use" or whether there was some unexpected influence ...

I "about:config" I modified "browser.feeds.handler" to "ask", and the missing page with the dropbox has reappeared

I think that's probably the preference behind the helper application setting I mentioned. So looks like it had someone been set to always use a particular option.

2. Posting Feed

That looks similar to what I see: no feed appears in "Blogs and News-Feeds". Might be related to missing Title or something else, I haven't a clue how to test that. But there is a fact which changes my suspect: There has been a change on , now we have
"<title>ÖPNV Braunschweig</title>"    instead of
"<title></title>"
on https://www.oepnvbs.de/feed/ in source code. And now subscribing works fine.

I will file a Bug for that.

Thx for your assistance,

No problem. With a bit of experimentation, SeaMonkey fails to add the feed if both title and description are missing or empty (the feeds at <https://www.oepnvbs.de/> both have an empty description). I've posted more detail and examples in a reply to your bug 1661726, but from a quick look at the RSS specs, it looks like title and description are both required. So although silently failing to add the feed as it does in my case is not really right, the error message you got might be correct - the feed wasn't really valid (if "required" means a value is required as well, not just an empty element). The other readers you tried might just be more tolerant of invalid feeds. Though that doesn't necessarily mean SeaMonkey couldn't be more tolerant as well ;o)

If that particular feed was working earlier today, then was broken, and is now working again, it sounds like perhaps oepnvbs.de broke it somehow and have since fixed it. I notice the title of the comments feed also makes more sense now - "Kommentare für ÖPNV Braunschweig" rather than "Kommentare für". Looks like they somehow dropped "ÖPNV Braunschweig" from both feed titles, leaving one empty and the other looking a bit odd.
