Does anyone know if, and when, the RSS feeds for the Firefox and Thunderbird
Addons sites are going to be restored?

They've changed. You should revisit the site and get the URLs for new ones.

Hmmm. What happened to the square orange RSS icons that let you install
the feeds? After a bit of reading round to find out how, I've managed to
get the feeds from that page, but had to install them via
Bookmarks>Manage Bookmarks>File>New Live Bookmark - what a pain. Still,
I don't have to do it very often, only when they break the old system
like this time. Pity they can't get it working as well as the BBC site,
that's excellent with regard to RSS feeds.

Bob

They don't work though. The one that should (in the address bar) adds an
entry as it should, but the entry fails to load. Surely it shoudl
produce a submenu of the different options? What is it supposed to be
adding? The ones that I wanted - in the text - just go to the code page
of course. As I said, I found out how to add them the hard way, but it's
a nuisance to anyone that tries the correct (easy?) way. The main
problem for me was this page

https://addons.mozilla.org/feeds.php

which is the obvious one to use (it takes some finding from a tiny menu
entry at the bottom of a page). There are no icons at all, never mind a
menu of them as there would be on a well designed site. Basically, the
whole thing is a complete cock-up.

Okay, I see. It's the live bookmark links embedded in the page head. I
did some digging, and found that it's being worked on, but there some
issues with the PHP code.
