Very simple + sane extension that I found.

Puts an RSS icon into your URL bar when the webpage you're on has an RSS feed. The button is hidden, if it does not.
When you click the button, it copies the feed URL into your clipboard, so you can add it into your RSS reader. If there's multiple RSS feeds on a webpage, it shows a little dropdown and then when you click one of the entries, it copies the feed URL.

When I say "RSS", I do also mean Atom and possibly others.

Screenshot of the Firefox URL bar with a small RSS button, as added by the extension. The button looks fairly unintrusive, as if it was natively integrated into Firefox.

I use RSSPreview for this. If a feed is available and you click its icon, it gives you a menu where you can select a feed to visit. RSSPreview basically changes how feeds are displayed inside Firefox.

    I'd like to note that RSSPreview restores features that were removed in Firefox 64.

    And by "changing how feeds are displayed", it applies an XSL Transformation to display the feed as HTML (instead of XML) in the browser. XSL Transformation is pretty neat, you can use it on any XML document such as your own RSS feed, like I done on mine.
