In your Firefox bookmarks bar you will probably have noticed the Latest Headlines menu. This menu updates itself automatically from the BBC website so it always shows the latest stories. This isn’t some special trick just for the BBC. You can add a “latest headlines” button for pretty much any website, including this one and it is really easy to do. Just look out for this symbol 
in the URL bar when you visit a website. If it lights up then that means the website has what is called an “RSS feed”.
Click the feed symbol and you will see a list of the headlines and a “Subscribe Now” button. Click this and you can then choose whether to add the feed to your bookmarks menu or to the bookmarks toolbar (where the BBC feed is)
Now you can quickly check to see if there are any new articles on your favorite sites without having to open them up. This is particularly handy when using a broadband dongle because it uses much less data to check the feed than to open up a site full of pictures.
