Description
Firefox (http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/) supports a new feature called live bookmarks. It allows to subscribe to an RSS of the current page with a click.
Just open the Mozilla homepage (http://www.mozilla.org) with Firefox and note the red RSS icon at the bottom right.
To enable it, a small addition is needed to the HTML as explained here:
http://www.spreadfirefox.com/?q=node/view/3297
There can be more than one RSS entries on a page.
This would make it easy for Firefox users to add live bookmarks.

Received!. Thanks for the submission. Now it's in my list! We'll analyse it, sure!

Yeah, very interesting!!
The only problem is that RSS must be declared in the HEAD section of the page and, at that level, Moodle doesn't know what is going to be showed...
But I'll try it...sure!

Nice solution for forum (and glossary) views. But what happen with the List of Forums page? Enabling it for Firefox could be too much hard!
If Martin approves it I'll apply your solution (and to glossaries too).
Ciao

The List of forums page should be fine too, just has a lot of options in the Live Bookmars drop-up menu
The Title attribute should be used to show something else than RSS though. That change would suit the single forum/glossary rss cases too, so you would see Subscribe to 'General developer forum instead of Subscribe to 'RSS'.
Some king of re-using of the $rsspath in the List of forums page might be nice.
- added rss link generationg to forum view.php before print_header_simple() call and put the link to $meta parameter (see attached view.php)
