There is a problem with Thunderbird to and RSS feeds not everyone seems 
to be able to receive them, my guess is new installs do not, also some 
that can receive them after updating thunderbird can not add new feeds 
as this bug was reported over a month ago I assume it is not a Fedora bug
There is no option to create RSS feeds the same way as an email account 
is created in the Thunderbird/F7 setup, yes there was in the 
ThunderbirdFC6 option
In the past I have never had a problem with Thunderbird ,  skipping the 
Fedora roll of Thunderbird go straight to the mozilla site may solve the 
problem .
