Open the Synaptic Package Manager:
System|Administration|Synaptic Package Manager
  do a search on Firefox
Search: firefox
  you'll find 'firefox', right click on it and select Properties. Now
click on the Installed Files tab - that will show you where all of
Firefox's files are installed.

Hint: if you want to find where your FireFox profile is located; in FF
URL bar enter: about:cache
that will show you the path to the cache directory and should be
/home/username/.mozilla/firefox/someidentifier/Cache

That said; I'm confused as to what RSS Feed would ask you where the app
is located. Can you provide a link & also advise as to which version of
FF  and Ubuntu you are using?
