How to use RSS Feeds?

Hi,

I want to understand and follow RSS feed because many web pages provide 
RSS feed for updated new data(e.g. http://www.weather.gov/rss/). But I 
never get how to use it. The link below suppose explains everything and 
how to use it.

except:
How Do I Use RSS Feeds?

The first step is to choose an RSS reader. Each reader has a slightly 
different way of adding a new feed, also called a "channel." Follow the 
directions for your reader but, in most cases, here's how it works:

Click on the link or small XML button near the feed you want. For 
example, FirstGov.gov Updates: News and Features. You'll see a page 
displaying XML code.
 From your web browser's address bar, copy the URL (web address). For 
example, the URL you would copy for FirstGov.gov Updates: News and 
Features is: http://www.firstgov.gov/rss/updates.xml.
Paste that URL into the "Add New Channel" section of the reader. The RSS 
feed will start to display and regularly update the headlines for you.


I don't have special software for viewing it. I have Web browser 
Firefox. The link above says that Firefox can do it. But I can't find 
"Add New Channel" in Firefox. It only displays the xml source code.

Thank you very much for your help.
