Description

From Greg Huber:

 

BIF. With the pending removal of feed reader and live bookmarks support
from Firefox:

   https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1477667

To make the roller feeds work again in firefox, it needs a workaround:

   https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/XSLTProcessor/XSL_Transformations_in_Mozilla_FAQ

Just add this to the templates, it creates the 512 bytes comment (variousways of doing it!)

<!-- #foreach ($number in [1..153])$foreach.count#end -->

eg

*#<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
#if($config.feedStyle)<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl"
href="$url.absoluteSite/roller-ui/styles/rss.xsl" media="screen"?><!--
#foreach ($number in [1..153])$foreach.count#end -->#end
<rss version="2.0"

In the end I just created a macro with a content of

<!-- 123456789101112131415161718192021222324252627282930313233343536373839404142434445464748495051525354555657585960616263646566676869707172737475767778798081828384858687888990919293949596979899100101102103104105106107108109110111112113114115116117118119120121122123124125126127128129130131132133134135136137138139140141142143144145146147148149150151152153

as I thought it was much longer, rather than the foreach.
