People who don't use RSS say it's dead, and they won't be convinced otherwise.
People who use it every day know that it's not dead at all.
Firefox's decision will not make the slightest bit of difference for either group of people.

RSS is dead for the latter people but not the former.
I used RSS 10 years ago. Even bought a keyboard with a LCD to have my RSS headlines always available.
I have no need for that functionality for years.
I know noone in person who uses RSS anymore.
I would call it dead (but obviously as per other comments here, people still need/use them).
Woah, what keyboard was this?
If you ask me Mozilla didn't kill RSS, they just updated their browser to reflect a reality. The reality is that most people don't use RSS and don't care about it. Who killed RSS? Going to go out on a limb here and say Google. Anyone remember Google Reader? That thing was amazing - I remember the days I used to go through all my feeds in under 10 minutes. .I guess it did not really fit Google's business model or it wasn't big enough to worth investing in, but if you ask me it was the closest Google came to having a social network.
