How do I subscribe to a page in Firefox 47 or later?

Prior to upgrading to Firefox 47, I could click the bookmarks icon (to the right of the star icon, to the right of the address bar) and then "Subscribe to this page" to view the RSS feed of a particular website.

Since the recent update, this appears to be gone, although the release notes do not mention it. Has the option been removed? Is there another way to reach it other than making the old menu reappear by pressing Alt?

I found the change:

So there's a "Subscribe" button you can add to the menu or toolbar in the Customize dialog. It's light gray when no feeds are available, and becomes darker to match the active buttons when one is available.

If you were to place the button on the toolbar, for example next to the other bookmark buttons, it might be possible for a custom style rule to keep it hidden when no feed is available, and then show it when a feed is available. I haven't attempted to create one...

Or you can use the classic Bookmarks menu as you mentioned. I suppose it depends on how often you are curious about feed availability.

At its most basic, it's not a complicated custom style rule: 

@namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul);
#nav-bar #feed-button[disabled] {
  display:none !important;
}

You could apply that using either a userChrome.css file or the Stylish extension. (More info if interested.)

But it is a little weird having all the icons to the left of it moving left and right on different tabs as it comes and goes, so maybe not worth the trouble.

That's excellent @jscher2000, thanks for finding that! I wasn't aware of the Subscribe button - that'll do just fine, and I don't mind it being greyed out when no feed is available.
