Some of the features include:

Reads RSS (2.0, 1.0, 0.9x) and Atom feeds
Feed Discovery

In the address bar, type in about:config, and then hit enter.
At the warning, click the button that says, “I’ll be careful, I promise!”.  Now you are ready to [...]

With the release of Firefox 2, the browser has done a much better job with handling RSS feeds.
Instead of throwing you up a bunch of random XML code they actually give you a pretty nice interface to learn from and use when clicking on that little orange subscription button you see on all the Web sites these days.
