by dr_white, 5 years agoI am sitting here stunned right now. I have been holding onto a v.56 fork of FF for years now solely because of Liveclick, the legendary livemarks enhancement addon that was sadly abandoned when it seemed RSS folder functionality had been made impossible in "Chromefox". And now here I am looking at the impossible on my bookmarks bar. I would swear I've read the name Tim Nguyen associated with addons in the past, too. In any case I can't express my appreciation for this breakthrough enough and I can only hope that Mozilla doesn't somehow wreck this feature YET AGAIN. Obviously what I and many other newsfeed junkies would love to see next is as much of Liveclick's power as possible added to this new extension. Being able to have the titles of unread articles shown in boldface was a godsend, with a configurable timer that would mark them as read after a certain number of seconds! I'm guessing its probably either very difficult or not even within reach, however, considering the lack of flexibility in anything with Chromium DNA. Ah, the days when it was all about empowering the user...how I want to see those times return :)
Suggestions that hopefully might be possible to implement without too much trouble:
* Option to keep FF from shortening titles of articles. I know FF has always had a stupid arbitrary limit to the length of titles on the bookmarks toolbar but I can't find a solution like Place's Full Titles any longer.
* Either a way to support the syncing of Livemarks to our FF account bookmarks or an export/import function just for Livemarks.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Korwin, 20 days agoThe extension icon does not appear on the Toolbar, in the extension drop-down list, in the Sidebar, or on the "Drag your favorite items into the toolbar or overflow menu" page. The "Refresh interval" field only displays two digits (instead of at least four). When importing feeds from OPML, it is difficult to select the desired subfolder, because they are displayed in the drop-down list as one level, not as a tree. After importing, about a thousand feeds are very annoying when working with bookmarks on a daily basis, cluttering up search results.
There is no cloud syncing of feeds via browser, nor via Google Drive/Dropbox connection.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Sam, 3 months agoIt's great! If you ever used the RSS Livemarks feed from Firefox, this is it, broken out as an extension. I only wish they add a UI for .mp3 media (i.e. podcasts) so they would look and play nicely on the livemarks page. Currently when I click the mp3 link in the RSS page, the firefox mp3 UI shows up and since it is streaming, it breaks on some sites. Most site will limit then number of connection and since the FF browser go back after playing a small chunk to download the next chunk, it timesout and doesn't play past 10 minutes.

- Rated 3 out of 5by abbey2k1, 4 months agoIt works for sure, but like a lot of extensions like it, it doesn't update to the tab that I'm currently on. For example, I go from Link A to Link B. I click the RSS button only for it to only show me the feed from Link A, not the feed from the tab I'm currently on, Link B. This is very frustrating as someone trying to start using RSS and building a library of feeds quickly. If it updated to the page I'm on as I expect it to, this would be an easy 5 stars.
