* As a user, I would like a simple way to subscribe to a web feed if one is available on a page I am visiting.

* As a user, I would like to use Firefox to subscribe to and read webfeeds, so I do not have to rely on another service or application.

* As a user, I would also like to have the option of using other services or apps for webfeeds, so Firefox should be added as an option on the available services & apps list and treated the same (removable, automatic if last item on the list, etc.)
* As a user, I would like my subscribed feeds to be available as a panel on my about:home screen, akin to the Reading List screen.
* As a user, I would like to be able to quickly add an item from my subscribed webfeeds to my Firefox reading list, so I can easily find and read it later.
* As a user, I would like any item I add to my reading list to be downloaded completely so I can read items on that list while I am offline, such as on a subway or in an airplane. (Technically a Reading List user story, I suppose.)
* As a user, I would like any item I add to my reading list to be automatically converted to "readable" mode, so I don't have to toggle it on when I go to read the article.
* As a user, I would like to be able to access the original (non-readability-reformatted) url/source of an item I have saved in my reading list.  It is OK if I have to be online for this to be possible.  I do not expect the content at the original URL/source to necessarily be the same as it was when I originally saved the page.
* As a user, I would like there to be a "magazine" or "newspaper" format for the most recent items in my subscribed webfeeds, so there's a more aesthetically-pleasing way to page through and view this content. Similar to Feedly or Flipboard, with pictures where available and lovely fonts & design.
* As a user, I would like Firefox to sync my subscribed feeds (and the read status of those feeds & items) between instances of Firefox where I have Sync enabled.
* As a user, I would like to be able to search my subscribed feeds for particular words or phrases, and have those words or phrases highlighted in the resulting items.
* As a user, I would like to be able to look at the feeds I am subscribed to individually or in aggregate.
* As a user, I would like unsubscribing from a particular feed in Firefox to be as easy as subscribing.
* As a user, I would like to tag my subscribed webfeeds with one or more keywords so I can separately look at the items from feeds with a particular tag.  For example, if 4 of my 10 subscribed feeds are tagged as "photography", I should be able to select the "photography" tag and see only items from those 4 feeds. (Google Reader feed folders are similar.)
