RSS Feed

As I mentioned on Twitter I'm having a small Firefox related bug with subscribing to a feed from Firefox.
I currently have the Web Feed type in the Firefox Applications preferences set to preview in Firefox, when I click on the feed icon in the address bar I get taken to the preview page as expected.
At the top I have set the 'Subscribe to this feed using' drop down menu to Chill Pill—I think I had to manually browse the applications directory to Chill Pill to get this—and when I click Subscribe Now nothing happens.
If I go ahead and set Chill Pill as the default application for Web Feeds and then click on the feed button I still get taken the to the preview page with the same results.
I'm guessing that Firefox is at fault here and just isn't properly passing the feed on to Chill Pill in any meaningful way. I do know I had it working fine with the Google Reader application hack that just redirected a feed back to Firefox with a link to Reader back before switching to Feedly and then to Fever more recently.
Repeatable Steps:
1. Go to the Firefox preferences and click on the Applications section. Filter the items or scroll to Web Feed and set the action to Preview in Firefox.
2. Find a page with a feed and click on the feed icon in the location bar at the top of the browser.
3. Select Chill Pill from the 'Subscribe to this feed using' drop down menu, if it is not listed click Choose Application… and point it to Chill Pill.
4. Click 'Subscribe Now'
5. Nothing should happen
Chill Pill 1.0.1
Firefox 3.5.2
