can't access RSS feeds

Likely I am doing something wrong, but here is my problem.
I am guessing this is a FF problem and not a TB problem.
I am trying to add RSS feeds to TB. Yesterday I added a feed from
Reuters. Worked very well. Today I have tried adding feeds from
news.google, Medscape, and msn.sports. All three attempts failed. In
each case I clink on the 'RSS' link, FF 'looks' for the link for 2-3
seconds, then quits. Any suggestions?
FWIW, I have 2 Add-ons - AdBlock and NoScript. I have disabled AdBlock
and given blanket permissions in NoScript. Still have the same problem.

If it helps any, I can copy RSS links from EI straight in to TB with no
problems. Can't even get to the page in FF.

I use the addon INFORSS, to manage rss feeds, and it works fine.
I had to edit the version limit number in the xpi installation
file, after the FF 3.0.0 updated to FF 3.0.1 however.
I also tested INFORSS on thunderbird, it worked sort of, but better
on firefox.
