Inappropriate?Please see http://blog.feedly.com/2008/06/18/how... and refer to step #1. I think that this problem is related with how firefox does feed reader assignment. Sorry to hear feedly did not work out of you. If you have specific feedback, we are listening.

Inappropriate?Followed the instruction, i.e. removed feedly from web feed, uninstalled add-on. After restarting FF, feedly is still in the web feed list. It is just like ghost. Once installed, always installed. It is really a karma now.
I’m mad

Inappropriate?And to remove the so-called number 1 developer excuse on bug - the user must have done something wrong, I did the test to make sure I didn't get it wrong.
I add the "ie" as an additional source for the web feed -> restart FF -> checked web feed, "ie" entry is there and your lovely ghost feedly is there of course -> remove the "ie" entry -> restart FF -> check back, "ie" entry is gone -> restart FF -> remove feedly entry ->restart FF -> this stupid entry is still there.
Can's say a word of this product.
I’m totally disappointed.

Inappropriate?ggbal. sorry for the frustration. Will try to reproduce and fix this bug today. Will keep you posted.
Note: once feedly is un-installed, it no longer can interact with firefox (so this is not a case where feedly is adding or changing things but instead a case where firefox is not saving the changes). I understand it is frustrating and will try to see if we can automate the removal of feedly from the list automatically and work around this firefox bug. -
Inappropriate?Thanks. I understand the leftover entry won't cause a real damage. But it is really annoying. In the meantime, can you let me know how to manually (editing files/registry, etc) get ride of this entry?1 Comment Add a comment

To manually remove, can you please try this. Shutdown firefox. Find prefs.js file in your firefox profile folder. Do a back up of it just in case. Open it with a text editor. Remove each line which as a reference to feedly. Sorry again for the inconvenience. -
Inappropriate?yes. that is what I thought. I removed all feedly entries in perfs.js and that fixes the problem. There are several of them. One group is the contenthandler. I guess that is the place related to "web feed" action. Othere is the extension.feedly which could be your add-on leftover.

Yes. extension.feedly are preferences we "leave" on the browser to be able to provide a better experience when/if the user re-installs the extension. The contenthandler is the one we need to do a better job removing: we will definitely look into it as part of the next release which should go out in 2 or 3 weeks to that future users do not have the go through the same frustration you went through. (The content of this thread will also help between now and then so thank you of the details).
