#15656 — Newsfeeds

Good day.

Today TB decided to update all by itself, so now I'm on the latest and 
greatest. There are lots of terrible things, but the absolute worst is 
with RSS feeds - TB no longer downloads the articles! All I see if I 
open an article in its own tab is the summary. What the hell?! Please 
tell me I am missing something! How do I read full RSS articles now 
inside TB without invoking a browser?

Thanks.

Israel has been accused of genocide.  On the other hand,
Iran and its clients -- Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis --
have pledged to drive the Jews out of Israel to drown in
the Mediterranean Sea.  Is that not genocide?

Yeah well it's too late now. I dont remember which version I was on 
either. There's a setting for viewing feed summaries or full web pages, 
but it does nothing, it's broken.

As I backup my profile weekly, I went back to TB102, and restored my 
profile from Monday. Lost a week, not too bad. Wish newsfeeds worked 
correctly in the new TB though.

You might create a 2nd profile and download Betterbird.  Try it.  Everyone (lots at least) say it's 
better.

Coming back to this issue, I have no problem switching to Betterbird but 
can you confirm that it displays newsfeed articles as web page?

I don't use BB (tried it once), and TB displays newsfeeds like email so I'm guessing so 
does BB.

Could you switch your feeds to a browser ?
There are RSS Add-ons for browsers.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/feedbroreader/

*******

As for your version, you could consult backup images of the machine.
For example, the "compatibility.ini" file in firefox at least,
tracks the current program version used with the profile.

Firefox, Thunderbird, and Seamonkey, use the same scheme.
Here, you can see my Seamonkey was updated recently to 2.53.20
and the profile was then "migrated" to that version.

[Compatibility]
LastVersion=2.53.20_20250104154918/20250104154918
LastOSABI=WINNT_x86_64-msvc
LastPlatformDir=C:\Program Files\SeaMonkey
LastAppDir=C:\Program Files\SeaMonkey

If you open a recent backup, there's a chance the
"compatibility.ini" will tell you. But there could
be a fair number of "compatibility.ini" sitting on disk,
somewhere. You can have profiles that are normally not
used, just sitting on the disk drive.

Thanks, Compatibility.ini says I was on 102.15.1. So I zipped the v128 
installation, restored v91 installation (last time I backed-up the 
install folder) and "updated" to v102, that took care of the executable. 
As for the profile, I got a robocopy script that backs it up so I 
restored it from Monday.

I tried deleting then re-subscribing to one of my feeds in v128 but same 
issue, all I got was the articles summary. It's possible that on a brand 
new profile the feeds work, I haven't tried, it would be a lot of 
trouble starting from scratch.

within the past year or so, mozilla's "updates" have been attracting
more user complaints and increasing reports of unexpected/unreliable
program behavior regarding both thunderbird and firefox . . .  seems
deliberate by this pattern of "fixing" what wasn't previously broken

It's a partial rewrite. Yes, it's messy.

The Thunderbird staff, do not want Thunderbird to be used as a general
purpose browser. Only the "donation" web page, is to appear on your screen :-)

I'm a long-term TB user, but not a big RSS user.  I have one BBC news 
feed and another UK parliament feed, all it ever has loaded for me per 
article is a one line summary and a clickable URL that launches in FF.

It depends on what the feed contains. Some have just a summary,
 some complete articles. If you view the xml you'll
 see.

Here's a feed which should contain full articles:
<https://www.theatlantic.com/feed/all/>

I've no idea what TB does.

That one does include full text body with some embedded images, so i 
assume the two existing feeds are quite minimal.

The Atlantic feed is noteworthy because the magazine's website is
 paywalled. I can read in my feedreader (I use SparseRSS Mod on
 Android) what would cost me $80/yr to read on their
 website.

Looks worth keeping, have added a few uBO element filters to hide the 
web-page header/footers

I find some/most articles do get truncated, same way that some paywalls 
do it (an overlay that fades from transparent to opaque) at least it's 
better than the Times which does it after the first sentence, the 
Atlantic lets you read several paragraphs ...

Open a feed article in a new tab.
Then in the main Thunderbird window:
View (Alt-V) - Feed Message Body As - select what fits your needs.
It's 'Default Format' here, and that opens the feed article as a web 
page in Thunderbird.
When opening the feed article in a tab, and with the uBlock Origin 
extension installed in Thunderbird, then there are no ads either.
Beautiful.

Thank you, that worked

I tried "web page" instead of "default format", that seemed to lose the 
cookie popups, I might consider adding uBO to thunderbird.

And you have v112 or newer? I opened a bug on Bugzilla and it was marked 
as a duplicate, so the issue exists :-(
