Hello,

I have an RSS feed I made for this web page:
http://www.greenmethods.com/incl_pages/latest_news.php
(feed: http://www.greenmethods.com/xml_gm/gm_news.xml).

I seems to work just fine. It's well-formed and valid. However, the live bookmark won't load in Firefox. Works fine elsewhere so it seems, and the live bookmark loads in Opera 8.x reliably, but no-go in FF.

I am thinking there is either an RSS support issue (I'm using RSS 2.0 only) with Firefox, or I am missing some critical piece of metadata.

Here the set-up. I'm posting it here as the actuall XML is CSS-styled for basic apperances.


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/css" href="http://www.greenmethods.com/styles/rss_style.css" ?>
<rss version="2.0" xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/" xmlns:wfw="http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">

In advance, thank you.

just curious does it work if you take off the css processing-instruction?
you may want to include a <link/> element? it may use that to parse each bookmark link?
