Is automatic feed discovery no longer available on Firefox 4?
In previous versions of Firefox, Live Bookmarks had the ability to automatically detect RSS feeds and alert you to their existence by placing an icon at the far-right of the address bar. With the Firefox 4 beta this doesn't seem to happen. Was that feature removed, or is there a way to enable this feature again?

The icon in the address bar has been replaced by a toolbar button, but the toolbar button is not displayed by default. Right-click on a toolbar and choose Customize to open the customize toolbar dialog. Drag and drop the Subscribe icon from the dialog box onto the toolbars, then click Done.
If a site has an RSS feed the button is dark grey, if no feed it is light grey. This is not a noticeable as the icon in the address bar. If you prefer there is an add-on that adds an orange RSS icon to the address bar, similar to the behaviour in Firefox 3.6 - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/rss-icon
Thanks! That's just what I was looking for.
