Why is the RSS Icon indicating RSS availability no longer showing besides Firefox's URL field when I know the feature should be available on the website? It shows up in Seamonkey for the same site. I'd like to subscribe in Firefox, but can't.

On Linux it is "Firefox > Preferences > Toolbar Layout" or if you have the menu bar, "View > Toolbars > Customize"

The RSS icon was moved to its own toolbar button. You can add it to a toolbar by dragging it from the Customize palette ( Firefox Button -> Options -> Toolbar Layout or View -> Toolbars -> Customize ).

The Bookmarks menu also displays a Subscribe to this page... item if the page has a feed.

If you still prefer the RSS icon to appear in the url bar, there is an add-on to do just that: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/rss-icon-in-awesombar/
