I am on Tails version 4.0, and Thunderbird version 60.9.0 (64-bit)

3/4ths of the podcast links that I used to be able to view in the tor browser do not validate on https://validator.w3.org/feed/

I used to be able to view these feeds just fine in the tor browser, and it would be odd if 3/4ths of the podcasts that I listen to all screwed up their RSS configuration, so I assume this is a thunderbird or w3 validator issue.

An example would be Hello Internet: http://www.hellointernet.fm/ http://www.hellointernet.fm/podcast?format=rss https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.hellointernet.fm%2Fpodcast%3Fformat%3Drss

I do not have an answer for you, but clicking that link to the web site and clicking the RSS feeds link in the heading causes firefox to pop up something about what to do with a link to a Podcast, instead of open the feed page in Firefox. So I think the issue might be in the core Mozilla platform, not in Thunderbird as such. That is if the RSS feeds are in fact valid.

Opening the same link is chrome displayed the XML source and then Chrome asked if the link was a feed. If it was actually correct I would have expected better handing. However loading some of my feeds in Chrome saw the same ugly interface and raw data display. So I really do not know.
