Live Bookmark won't delete

Basically, I have a live bookmark that I can't delete. Further more, it won't even open up the feed items, but opening them all in tabs works just fine.
Oddly, I can still move it around and rename it (though changing the two URLs does not work).
Any ideas?

You can't remove items in a live feed folder if that is what you tried to do.
You can only remove (delete) to live feed if it isn't working anymore and create a new live feed by visiting the site location or feed location.

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.)

I deleted Live bookmarks in v3 and have no back-up! How can I restall the option?

It is probably not wise to leave your e-mail and phone number on a public forum.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
You purchase one download only.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases

Unable to delete old rss feeds from live bookmarks

When I subscribe to a news rss feed I find all the news feeds listed under live bookmarks. I'm OK with that, but the problem is after reading them you can't delete the feeds unless you delete the bookmark. So each time I need rss feeds I have to go to the original source which is a waste of time.
I have reverted to Opera browser for news feeds as there is the capability of deleting individual feeds after reading them.
Suggestions please.
Thanks,
Garry

Solved: When composing an email and beginning to type an email address, you are prompted with autofillins. There is a small x to the right of the name. If you wish to delete the autofillin, then click on the x and Yahoo will remove it from the options in the future.

Some of my live bookmarks no longer reload, not manually or automatically. I've tried safe mode and resetting Firefox and still have the problem. Fixable?

I have subscribed to 19 blogs as live bookmarks. A couple of months ago, one of the blogs started not refreshing the list of posts. Now a second blog no longer refreshes. I have tried the "Reload Live Bookmark" option (both from the live book mark dropdown and from the "Show all Bookmarks" menu and it does not refresh the list. If I visit the blog, I get the latest posting, but it never shows up in the RSS feed. I have tried opening Firefox in safe mode to see if the add-ons are causing the problem and there is no change in the behavior of the feeds. I have also tried Resetting Firefox and that did not work. What else can I try?

Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 22.0: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

EVERY SINGLE RSS FEED displays "Live Bookmark Feed Failed to Load" and then THEY LOAD...

Every single time I add an RSS feed as a live bookmark and view it, the top of the feed list displays a "Live Bookmark Feed Failed to Load" error... Followed by all of the NEWEST entries in that RSS feed.
So why the hell is it saying they failed to load every single time I open a live bookmark when they are actually loading?
I have deleted my live bookmarks and re-added them only to get the same error.
It makes me sad that my favorite web browser is going down the toilet. Won't be more than a month or two before you get taken down by Chrome according to general web trends... Give it a year and if you don't fix all the broken crap in FireFox it will end up as the "NEW IE6" in a year or two...
I love how the top dog in any category of business goes down the toilet as soon as the idiot board and bureaucrats get involved.

You can try to create a new Latest Headlines bookmark by visiting this website:

MAC OSX 10.4.11 I finally succumbed to the constant irritating messages telling me that I didn't have the latest version. My old version and all my bookmarks have been deleted my Mac says it doesn't support Firefox! How can I recuperate my old settings?

MAC OSX 10.4.11 I succumbed to the constant messages telling me that I didn't have the latest version, despite being happy with the one I had. My old version and all my bookmarks have been deleted and now my Mac says it doesn't support Firefox!!!!! How can I recuperate my old settings? in English

Firefox 4 versions and later '''do not run on a PowerPC Mac''' (like yours) and require '''at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac'''.
The latest supported version for your os is '''3.6.27''' , you can download it from:
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
1. Download a 3.6.27 copy of the Firefox from the above link
2. Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install.
3. Install the new version that you have downloaded(3.6.27)
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so probably you won't lose your bookmarks or other personal data, if you don't already ''totally'' uninstall firefox(user data and settings like bookmarks, extensions, etc. located here: ~Library/Application Support/Firefox so you must uninstall it separately, to totally uninstall firefox).

How o unsubscribe a Live Bookmark feed I no longer want?

I subscribed to a website using Live Bookmarks for notice of audio teachings, which I no longer want to receive. I have the folder with the feeds as part of my BOOKMARKS file. How do I unsubscribe Live Bookmarks? I'm running FF 3.6.16 w/XP
Thanks.

Firefox retrieves the items that you see in a RSS live feed list from the server as an XML file. You can remove the Live Feed bookmark to stop using that feed.
See:
* [[Deleting bookmarks]]

Certain Live Bookmarks have stopped updating

RSS URL's are 100% correct and are loaded by other RSS readers with no problem, they are even displayed correctly on Firefox's "Subscribe" page, but when they are added to the bookmarks menu, it says that they cannot be loaded. I've searched many forums, but don't have found any post on this issue. It seems that this has occured after update to version 3.6.9. Clearing history/cookies/failsafe mode, etc. won't help. Thanks for the answer.

Can you reload them via the right-click context menu and "Reload Live Bookmark" ?
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]

Websites I've loaded onto my home screen won't delete. I press the icons. Wobbles then freezes and homescreen uploads flash off and on (apps too but I can delete them from manage storage)

Websites I've loaded onto my home screen using the + to home screen option won't delete. I press the icons. Wobbles then freezes and homescreen uploads flash off and on (apps too but I can delete them from manage storage)
i need to reboot to stop it and I'm stuck with loads of homescreen icons on my iPad

You're welcome. Glad to hear you got it sorted out. If you like using website icons you can bookmark them as Favorites and they'll be on your Safari page instead of your homescreen and they're much easier to get rid of. Also you could turn on Favorites bar by going to settings> Safari> show Favorites bar> on. See screenshot.

I've tried to delete some redundant bookmarks, but the deletion doesn't take!

I accidentally imported my bookmarks twice, now the list in the bookmarks tab of the browser is twice the length it should be...should be no problem, but I've tried to delete the extras 2 or 3 times now. They just won't delete! I've tried restarting the browser each time, and they're still there.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

HI, I just got a Macbook Pro. It's great but my mail doesn't work at all. It will come up correctly, but take forever to download messages, then won't delete them, then won't save them to folders. Then when I go to quit mail it's like it gets stuck.

Then when I go to quit mail it's like it gets stuck between quitting and not. I have to force quit, then restart my computer if I want to pull up my mail again. How can I fix this?

If you just got your new MBP you have phone support from Apple (which is quite good) call them. 800-692-7753 tell the automated answerer "mail technical support" you'll have human quite quickly. Hope this helps.

File name with symbols won't delete from trash.cache\trash\cache folder.

found this weird file name with symbols (squares nad the like) in the trash.cache\trash\cache folder. Can't seem to delete it from windows, can't get at from the dos prompt. Windows safe mode won't delete it.
Any suggestions as to what it is and how to get rid of it.
At present am trying reinstall of firefox and virus scan.
Thanks

I tried to do the instructions Adobe gave me but when
I put in the disc that came with my mac and hold down
C when it restarts it takes me to the screen to do a
fresh install.
At that point go to the Menu & select Disk Utility - I can't remember exactly which menu but you should be able to find it easily... there isn't too much there
I went into the disk utility through the Apps folder
and for somereason the option to repair isnt
highlighted and it wont let me click it. I tried to
repair permissions/verify but it doesnt change
anything. I looked at the info and it says the volume
can be repaired, but it wont let me.
You can't Repair the disk the system is currently running the OS from - That's why you have to boot from the Installer disk (or some other start-up disk). Repair Disk addresses directory structure issues - totally separate from what Repair Permissions does.

What is a "live bookmark," and how can I make sure none of my bookmarks are live?

I'm trying to reduce Firefox's voluminous automatic Internet communication (see previous thread at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/968773#question-reply for background). As far as I know, I have not subscribed to any news-feeds nor clicked on "subscribe to this page."
One thing I don't understand is how to tell whether any of my bookmarks are "live," or whether any of the sites I normally visit automatically refresh their open pages on my browser. I can find no entries on Mozilla Support that even explain what a "live bookmark" is.
Can somebody please:
1) define a "live bookmark,"
2) tell me how to identify one in my bookmarks sidebar (or elsewhere),
3) tell me how to change any "live bookmark" into and ordinary (dead) bookmark, and
4) tell me how to prevent any open Web pages from automatically updating on my browser? (Internet Explorer used to have options for when a page should be updated, including "never.")
I'm currently running Firefox 24.0 under Windows XP SP3. Thanks in advance! -- JCW2

See the [[How to stop Firefox from automatically making connections without my permission]] article.
Live bookmarks, are not enabled by defualt, unless you enable them (the item will always show).
