Has Live Bookmarks changed in the last two years? Doesn't seem to work as well any more.
I've been using Chrome for the last couple of years, but recently am switching back due to a bad crash bug.
I always remember Firefox having these awesome live bookmarks that totally rocked. The bookmark 'folder' thing would go bold when there were new articles, and new articles in the list would be highlighted. After middle-clicking on an item in the list, the list would stay open, while the article loaded in a new tab, allowing me to quickly open all the new interesting things.
None of these features seem to exist any more, so I'm wondering what the deal is? Am I imagining them?
Also, I don't get the nice RSS bookmark icon in the address bar like I always used to. Now I have to go to the Firefox window-bar menu to do it. What gives?

Not sure about the middle click, I only used a two button mouse until recently, and maybe you could have subscribed differently or used some add-on.
Firefox 4 does not at present show the RSS icon in the location bar, but does have a customise option providing a button, or ass-ons can put one back in the location bar.

The listings do still show icons differently if already viewed, and if links are displayed the read and unread ones may display differently. This depends partly on how the page you view is set-up by the feed provider.
My firefox is en-GB edition and default Latest Headlines http://fxfeeds.mozilla.com/en-GB/firefox/headlines.xml is the BBC news. The BBC site may have changed the option on that feed, clicking the option is to open individual tabs or all the tabs, there is no separate listing, or explicit news page option now, however left clicking the option Open "Latest Headlines" at the bottom of the RSS listing goes to the BBC news home http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/
Compare that with another feed from the BBC :
