RSS not marked as read
Updated to Firefox 13 and now all of the RSS feeds are marked as unread and, when I view one, it does not change to marked as read. I have my feeds in a folder on the bookmark toolbar and have used it this way for a very long time (years). The only RSS related extension I use is RSS Icon. It only deals with the address bar icon, not the feeds themselves. This makes it impossible to notice new pages.
Chosen solution
Another user with the same problem put in another post about this. He/she has found a solution via an addon called Live Click. From their website:
"Those of you on the Firefox Beta Channel have already discovered that LiveClick doesn’t work on Firefox 13. This is due to three major changes in Firefox: 1) Live Bookmarks are loaded “on demand,” instead of Firefox checking for new items in the background; 2) Live Bookmarks are handled asynchronously, which prevents Firefox from locking up whenever feed items are stored or accessed; and 3) Live Bookmark items are no longer considered “bookmarks,” speeding up the display of and searches for actual bookmarks. The basic rationale for these changes is presented here by the developer who eventually coded them. The reasons all make perfect sense, with respect to improving Firefox’s overall performance."

They have a beta version in testing. The 0.4.2 version is not working with FF13, so don't download it. http://projects.protej.com/index.php/liveclick/comments/open_beta_3_liveclick_0500/
That page also describes the changes in FF13.
