Looks like their RSS pasring is a little buggy still...there are several valid feeds that aren't getting parsed properly.

Look like the sage extension is working fine.

However, it works just dandy in Thunderbird v0.8.

And I have been wondering for a few weeks why your feed doesn't seem to work with the LiveMarks, also Dunstan's blog feed isn't working either. At least we know it will get fixed, someday.

A patch has been supplied to get FireFox to look for guid elements. In the meanwhile, you can your feed working with FireFox by adding link elements to each item.

You can track the progress of this bug, it's Mozilla bug 250834.

Whoops, looks like you already found that. On the bright side, there has been lots of activity on the bug in the past few days, and it looks promising that it will be fixed in the next version.

Mine didn't work too, until I added a child node under each node. I think Firefox looks for this particular piece.
I took the liberty of saving your RSS feed and adding a couple of 's to each . I uploaded this file and it seemed to work good off my server:

Good luck!

Okay... I meant I added a "link" child node under each "item" node... I tried it with the feed taken off this
site and it worked beautifully.
