Description:
The single quotes used to include the rss/atom links in line 878 and 880 of
includes/OutputPage.php cause firefox to not detect that there is a feed on the
page. This may affect other things as well.

The fix is to just change the linkes to use " as follows:

878:
$ret .= "<link rel=\"alternate\" type=\"application/rss+xml\" title=\"RSS 2.0\"
href=\"$link\" />\n";

880:
$ret .= "<link rel=\"alternate\" type=\"application/atom+xml\" title=\"Atom
0.3\" href=\"$link\" />\n";

Version: 1.5.x
Severity: normal

Firefox 1.5 sees the RSS feed and shows it's little orange link
in the URL bar at eg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Recentchanges.

If you have some odd version of Firefox where this doesn't work,
you can report bugs to the Mozilla team at http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/
