 * I recently updated to 2.5 and my RSS feed has stopped working in Firefox. I have
   tested on Safari and it works fine but on FireFox (OSX) I get error:
    XML Parsing
   Error: xml declaration not at start of external entity Location: [http://www.youworkforthem.com/blog/?feed=rss2](http://www.youworkforthem.com/blog/?feed=rss2)
   Line Number 2, Column 1:<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?> ^ Can bee seen
   here: [http://www.youworkforthem.com/blog/?feed=rss2](http://www.youworkforthem.com/blog/?feed=rss2)
 * Anyone else seen this, have any ideas? I have only tested on OSX Firefox and 
   Safari.

 * Something is printing an extra blank line at the beginning of your RSS feed. 
   This problem is usually caused by an errant plugin (or sometimes a theme file),
   so try deactivating your plugins one-by-one until the problem goes away. (And
   while you’re doing that, keep in mind that Firefox caches the feeds with an iron
   grip, so you’ll probably need to clear the cache to see any changes.)

 * Thank, it was one of my older plugins was causing this.

 * Do I have the same problem. I can’t get my RSS to work either. Could you please
   help me to see what might be the problem. I will go thru all my plugins to and
   deactivate them one by one and see which one is not compatible.

 * Using Inove
 * My rss links work fine in Safari but acts strangely in Firefox.
    When clicked
   in firefox OSX, the result keeps opening tabs until I stop it.

    Ftp
   to your site and delete or rename the plugin. make a backup by downloading them
   first.
