I have visited a lot of sites that have podcasts/RSS feeds without the ability to use the "live-bookmarks" function in Firefox. If you want people to be able to bookmark your feed easily then all you need to do is this:

Edit the "head" of your webiste.

Somewhere within the <head> and </head> place the following code (editied to fit your site of course):

<LINK REL="alternate" TITLE="Your Website Title RSS Feed" HREF="http://www.yoursite.com/path/to/rss2" TYPE="application/rss+xml">

This will allow Firefox users who visit your site to click the live-bookmark button and save your feed to a bookmark folder. I use this to keep a folder of podcasts I like or want to hear etc. Or it is good even if you do not have podcasting for people to use an RSS aggregator plugin for Firefox to read your site news.

A good one for Firefox is Sage (https://update.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?application=firefox&id=77&vid=1147)
