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

Thanks for the info, hope that other ff users who still clueless about this will read as well.
Any hope that devs are going to revive this feature ? I've kinda found a workaround for this, just use an addon like Feed Sidebar 6....totally forgot about those! Was stupid of me to try and look for another browser lol

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

No, they won't revert this change. Such changes are made to boost the performance and avoid unnecessary internet traffic in case you have a lot of live feeds. So you will have to use an extension that has such a reload feature as you already found yourself.
