About a week after updating to Firefox 6.o.2, Latest Headlines [Live Bookmarks feed to BBC ] quit loading. Any suggestions? Thanks, Bridgid.

We accidentally broke this, but it should be fixed shortly. You should not need to take any action... it will recover on its own within a day or so.

For the record, this is entirely unrelated to any Firefox update. We broke how we were handling certain feed location URLs on fxfeeds.mozilla.com... it would have affected even non-Firefox users, if any are/were using this feed.

If you want to fix it yourself, you can edit the feed location to one that works. Right-click "Latest Headlines" and hit Properties. The Feed Location should be of the form:

http://fxfeeds.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/headlines.xml

(replace your locale... en-GB, es-ES, and so on)

There is a bugzilla bug on this as well, with a technical discussion of what happened: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=692035.
