Firefox 13.0+ bookmarked RSS feeds won't auto refresh

Hello. Since Firefox 13.0 and above (up to the latest 17 pre alpha nightly) the feature that allows your bookmarked RSS feeds to be automatically updated is GONE. Previously popular browser.bookmarks.livemark_refresh_seconds (I had to enter this value) either broken or does not exist in the latest FF versions, it is simply does not work.
I've tried everything, starting from disabling add-ons to safe mode but nothing helps in solving this problem. Could you please tell if this is a bug or this feature is no longer supported in Firefox so I can stop bothering and switch to another browser
Best Regards

Yes, you now need to refresh the live feed items manually because live feeds now work as regular bookmarks.<br />
Only the initial loading is automatic the first time you open a live feed bookmark.

  • Firefox 34.0.5: Live bookmarks (RSS feeds) won't stay open! :(

    Firefox 34.0.5: Live bookmarks (RSS feeds) won't stay open! If I close Firefox and reopen it, all my live bookmark folders are closed and I have to manually reopen them (such as BBC World News, etc.). Please restore the old functionality: If I have it open when I quit, let it be open when I come back! If I had it closed, then keep it closed. Thanks!

    Thanks for your reply and for taking an interest. I've attached the screenshot in PNG format--hope that's okay. I use bookmarks only in the Sidebar, never in the toolbar (I just have way too many!)
    The BBC News live bookmark that is shown opened in that screenshot always comes back closed after I close Firefox and reopen it. (This is true for ALL other live bookmarks as well. Formerly, in earlier versions of Firefox, the open ones always remained open, and the closed ones closed, which is the correct behavior, imho.)

  • Bookmarked RSS feeds in Safari now open In Mail app?

    Hi updated Safari today and now when I select a bookmarked RSS feed it opens Mail. Where is this preference set? I would like to have the feed open in Safari feed reader as it did before. I see nothing for RSS in Safari prefs..... Safari Version Version 6.0 (7536.25)

    Ok I see now that the ability to subscribe to RSS feeds in Safari 6 is gone. Great. Thanks Apple.

  • FireFox won't auto-refresh specific site, other browsers do. How can I get FF to auto-refresh?

    I have a Help Desk application (everything HelpDesk) with a web interface. I keep my queue screen open so I can see new tickets come in and check status of existing tickets. FireFox does not auto-refresh this queue page so that new items or status changes show up. The page must be manually re-loaded in FireFox. However, other browsers (Chrome, IE, Safari) auto-refresh the queue page just fine. How can I get FireFox to auto-refresh this page?

    See:
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
    The setting in "Tools > Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.

  • Rss feed won't validate when I use the itunes:order element?

    Hi
    I'm trying to use the <itunes:order> element -
    http://deimos.apple.com/rsrc/doc/iTunesUAdministrationGuide/AddingContent/chapte r12_section3.html
    When I run my feed through the W3C rss validator it won't validate. It says - Undefined item element: itunes:order
    I also get a recommendation which says - Use of unknown namespace: http://www.itunesu.com/feed
    As far as I can tell I'm doing everything correctly. The iTunes and iTunesU namespaces are declared correctly in the root rss element and the itunes:order are where they should be within the <item></item> element.
    What am I doing wrong? Any help would be much appreciated.
    Here's my rss feed -

    I have been in touch with someone at Apple and I was advised that I shouldn't worry about this.
    It would seem that the feed validator doesn't recognise the iTunes U namespace and some of the iTunes and iTunes U specific feed elements. The use of an unknown namespace gives an adviosry note and <itunes:order> and <itunesu:category> elements will not validate at all. I suspect there may be other elements that I haven't used in our feeds.

  • Blog RSS Feed won't work

    In my application if the blog appears on the restricted page where login is required "Subscribe to RSS" link gives the error as below.
    Safari can't open the page "feed:xxx.xxxx.xxx/xxx/xxx/xxx/-/blogs/rss". The error is: "The feed could not be loaded because the content is not in a known feed format." (PubSub:2) Please choose Safari > Report Bugs to Apple, note the error number, and describe what you did before you saw this message.
    RSS Feed loads correctly in on MAC Firefox.
    If the blog appears on the page where login is not required, RSS Feed loads correctly in MAC Safari also.
    Is the feed processed differently in both scenarios described above? Is there a way to make it work?

    Ok...
    You are running 10.6.2 according to your profile. Download and install the v10.6.3 Combo Update
    Then repair disk permissions.
    Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored.

  • Bookmarking RSS Feed

    I'm sure this is something simple I'm missing but how do I add an RSS feed. I tried bookmarking it to the bookmark toolbar but all that does is link to the HTML version of the RSS feed instead of the list of stories(such as the default news bookmark).

    This might not be the correct way but this is what I did.
    I made a folder named Blogs and placed it in the Bookmarks Bar. When I am on a site that has the RSS symbol in the address bar I click the RSS symbol which sends me to the RSS version of the page. Then I click the + Toolbar tool and add the feed to my Blogs folder. That's it.
    The added page to Blogs folder also shows up in the All RSS Feeds section of the Bookmarks.
    Having Blogs on the Bookmarks Bar makes it easier to navigate and gives a visual update of the number of new updated feeds.

  • When I upgraded toversion 4 my bookmarks,RSS feeds, am\nd bookmarks toolbar appear to have been removed. How do I rcover them?

    I went from Version 3 to version 4 and when the new app was sarted there was a different toolbar , no bookmarks, no RSS items.
    At no time was there an alert or question about dumping the bookmarks , etc. In the past when upgrading to a new version the bookmarks and other settings and profile info was brought forward.
    I tried to go back to the older version but could not.

    Check that you still have the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar
    * Make sure that you have the "Bookmarks Toolbar" visible: "View > Toolbars"
    * Check in "View > Toolbars > Customize" that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
    * If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the Customize window onto the Bookmarks Toolbar
    * If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" then click the "Restore Default Set" button
    Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
    You can find the RSS feed (Subscribe) button in the toolbar palette in the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window and drag the button on a toolbar.

  • Turn Off Bookmarks' RSS Feed numbers?

    Is there a way to turn off the numbers than appear in my Bookmarks Bar. How?

    Argh! I'm having this same issue, and am publishing via FTP to a GoDaddy hosted site.
    Images are randomly and inconsistently flip-flopped between blog entries in the RSS feed, which also happens when I view the feed in Google Reader or Facebook (I import my blog entries as Notes into FB). The website itself is fine, but the RSS feeds aren't.
    Is a full republish of the site the best (and only) way to fix this? Anyone else having this issue?

  • RSS Feeds won't delete in Mail

    I have several RSS feeds coming into my INBOX. Once I read them, I delete them which places them in my TRASH. So far so good. But after I empty my TRASH and go to check new messages in my INBOX, they all show back up as new. Anyone got an answer?

    I fear that they are key stroke readers and I want to know how
    to get rid of them.
    Having key stroke readers or spyware requires installing spyware. Do these messages include attachments that you opened? Even so, installing a program that is spyware requires entering your admin password.
    The account's Junk mailbox may have some corruption. If this email account is a POP type account, do the following:
    Quit Mail first and using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Mail > this POP account named folder (named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account) > Junk.mbox. The Junk.mbox within the account named folder represents the account named Junk mailbox under Junk in the mailboxes drawer.
    Delete the Junk.mbox and empty the Trash.
    Launch Mail and a new Junk.mbox will be created automatically by Mail within the account named folder when the next spam message received is automatically or manually marked as Junk.

  • Entry in RSS Feed won't delete

    I have an entry that has been deleted from my blog page in iWeb, but the summary continues to display on the RSS Feed. I've accessed the feed from various computers and still see the same results. Of course, because the entry on the blog is deleted, when a user clicks on Read More from the RSS feed they receive a page not found error.
    Does anyone know how or why the entry I deleted from my blog continues to show on the RSS feed?

    I assume you have deleted the page or entry, and saved the changes in iWeb, but have you also republished?
    That should rewrite the rrs feed in your iWeb RSS folder.
    If not, you may have to go to the rrs file, and modify it manually.

  • Rss feed won't publish all my blog posts, help please!

  • Outlook 2007 won't auto refresh the internet calendar

    HI, 
    I subscribed a web ical with the instruction (File > Account Settings and then the Internet Calendars
    Tab, then click New and enter the path)
    for outlook 2007:
    the new calendar could display all the events correctly after set up, but it won't update the new event anymore automatically. even I close and re-open the outlook, it still not update, the last update time is the time when set up this calendar. 
    for outlook 2010, i tested, it can auto update the internet calendar when open the outlook everytime.
    is this the problem with outlook 2007?
    (I don't want user to press F9 to refresh everytime) 
    and i also tried to add X-PUBLISHED-TT property in the iCal file and it seems not working also
    Please help ! Thanks !

     Hi
    zhenyun,
    Sorry for Late reply, if you are still facing same
    issue then you should go for some kind of auto refresh plug-in or Add-in. After a bit search on Google, I found some of them called
    “Zoho” and “Vtiger”.
    As I am not much sure about this Add-in, you have to read about
    its functionally first by visiting given link.

    Hope, this link and Plug-in will give you some relax.
    Thanks

  • RSS feeds won't post numbers anymore

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    RSS is a new feature, whose inner workings are still somewhat mysterious. In short, you may have a corrupted data base file, which is not working as designed.

  • Live bookmark (RSS Feed) that requires a login will not load automatically.

    I have a live bookmark that points to www.photoshopuser.com/feed. This feed requires a login with my Usrname and pword. I have entered these and FF (latest version) has them stored. If I open the site from the live bookmark, the site loads at the login screen with the username/pwd filled in. I then have to press enter. After this the bookmark loads but not until. Is there a way to have a live bookmark login in to a site. IE does not have this problem. What if anything can I do?
