what exactly do u want to do with them? u want to subscribe to one? it's easy with firefox. just click (or double click) on the orange box in the URL area, and then click subscribe. i like to put my subscriptions in the bookmark toolbars, so it's easy to see new updates via pull down menu.

My personal recommendation for an RSS aggregator is Google reader ( http://reader.google.com/ ). What it does is allows you to view the stories from say BBC, CNN, NBC, etc. not by going to the sites individually but by monitoring them through the aggregator. Just input the URL and if a feed is linked from that page Google Reader will find it. I prefer it because it's online so I can access my feeds from anywhere--not just my home computer. But, there is probably competition for online aggregators by now. Good luck... it's really nice and saves tons of time.

+1 on google reader.

Its very easy to use, the nice thing is, you can share various other items to your friends, email specific articles to them, mark some as favourite.

I find it better then the ones you have to install on your pc.

Google reader, you can access it anywhere, simply log into your google account and read :)
