RSS Feeds allow users to quickly get access to the newest articles/posts from certain websites. Next time you visit one of your favorite websites, look at the Awesome Bar (this is the name the Firefox developers call the box where you type in websites), and at the right side of that box, you will most likely notice the RSS Symbol. If you click on this, it will bring you to a website where you can subscribe to an RSS Feed (Push the Subscribe button).
After subscribing to an RSS Feed, it will by default install to your Bookmarks Toolbar. From there, you can drag it around to place it where you want (I like to place my RSS Feeds on the left side of the toolbar, while having my normal bookmarks towards the right). Now, if you click on the RSS Feed on the toolbar, you will see the titles of all of the newest articles/posts/videos, and if you click on one, it will automatically open a window to that page (I would recommend a Middle Click in order to quickly open in a new tab).
This allows you to get access to your favorite websites, without ever having to sit on the website refreshing every two seconds waiting for new things to happen. Every so often just click on the RSS Feed and see if anything catches your attention, if not, spend time elsewhere until something does reel you in.
