Best way to have "RSS Offline Firefox" viewing?

[lefrenzy]

Hey guys, I've done a lot of search on Mozilla's site, and on Google, but was unable to find the answers I wanted.

What I'd like to do is save some RSS feeds of mine and read them offline because I am in a third-world country and unfortunately my laptop is not always connected to electricity.

i.e. my subscription to Economist.com:

I would like the ability to load my RSS feed, and download all the articles of that week, save them (with pictures) and download each HTML files so I can read them offline.

I really would like to do that within Firefox/Thunderbird, I feel as though it's possible and I'm just doing something wrong.

ps. I'm very interested in Thunderbird's "Offline Download/Sync now" option, but I can't it to work whatsoever.

Thanks for any info,

-Zaki

nobody!?!? =/

I'm sure some of you are big on RSS, no?

I have not heard of anyone doing this, at least with a tool. All you could do is save the html pages, as you would in IE. The RSS FEEDS are feeds, which mean they update. Can't do that offline.

I don't want to save individual HTML pages, that's not productive. I need a device to load a RSS file, and download all the new HTML pages for offline viewing in either Firefox or Thunderbird. I'm sure it's do-able!

You should be able to read rss feeds after updating online with any reader, reading them offline. You just can't get them updated while offline.
