I recently got turned on to Feedly but ran into a hitch right away. I keep cookies turned off in Firefox for security and privacy reasons. I selectively turn them on based on the site I’m going to. Unfortunately, Feedly checks the browser settings for this and refuses to work if you’ve disabled third party cookies. There has been some discussion on Feedly’s GetSatisfaction site about this issue but there is no fix. Since I’m impatient, I decided to hack their Firefox addon so it’ll work. So here you go - if you’re in the same situation as me, you can use this link to install a cookie check free Feedly. You may have to download the addon and then open it in Firefox to get it to work.
Note, to get this to work you’ll need to whitelist cookies from feeddo.com (as mentioned in the GetSatisfaction site). I also added feedly.com just to make sure it’ll work as well. Seems fine for me.
Also note, if you use this I’m sure you won’t be supported by Feedly. And since I’m not in the business of supporting people, you won’t be supported by me either. Caveat emptor!
Question: Did you try this on firefox 2 or firefox 3? I can see how it could work for firefox 2 but not in firefox 3.
I’m on Firefox 3 so I didn’t try it on Firefox 2. Definitely works on FF3.
