- Rated 5 out of 5by Lukasz Stachowicz, 6 years agois there a way to automatically or semi-automatically change my existing folder structure with live bookmarks into an importable OPML file with livemarks?
- Rated 5 out of 5by Jutz, 6 years agoMust have! Simple, works fine, import/export your feeds. Missing a reload now button somewhere.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14424271, 6 years agoFinally ! Thank you for that !
It just misses the ability to create folders, sync and a color change for read streams.
Thanks again ! - Rated 2 out of 5by jj, 6 years agoThis is an excellent replacement for the discontinued FF Livemarks. I created a folder for all my rss feeds and placed it on the toolbar. This is a simple way to keep the feeds organized and easy to scan.
My wish would be that visited links would change icon color to show already visited when reviewing feeds.
Update: Sadly the feeds do not update regularly. The only way I can force an update is to close and reopen FF. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14298872, 6 years ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13497661, 6 years agoWorks well for single machine use, but fails when syncing accross multiple machines. Only the main computer knows about the "live-ness" of the bookmark and while the synced machines will get a snapshot of the RSS Feed, they won't be able to update it. Apparently the Addon doesn't sync settings using Firefox Sync.

posted 6 years agoHello Mastacheata,
Thanks for the review, the latest version (version 1.8) now adds Firefox sync support. Normally, the livemarks should appear on the other instance too and should be listed under the add-on preferences. Can you please let us know if it works for you ?
Thanks again.

- Rated 5 out of 5by MrPotato, 6 years agoWorks well and looks nice. Although I don't think it can read from files which may be a problem.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14381320, 6 years agoAdd-on working great so far. However, I am running into trouble importing my Youtube channel XML feeds. This used to work with live bookmarks using the URL: 'https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=CHANNELID" . It looks to me like the Youtube XML fomat is not readable in Livemarks. Does anyone know a workaround?

posted 6 years agoTracking protection/content blocking might be blocking the feed from being fetched, you'll need to whitelist the domain. - Rated 4 out of 5by Dbradley, 6 years agoBest for now. Not working with gmail or reddit. Not sure why, but ty for this.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14373793, 6 years agoThis replaces live bookmarks really good. I love to glide through the bookmarks without being distracted and installing a separate rss feeders or using extensions wich need extra windows is too much for me. thank you!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13993953, 7 years agoThis is the real substitute for the live feed killed in firefox 64, at the moment there is only a problem on some double entries

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14203220, 7 years agoGuter Ersatz für die LiveMarks, läuft problemlos. Funktioniert. Meine Empfehlung dafür...
- Rated 4 out of 5by Bim, 7 years agoThanks for the great addon!
Just what I wanted: Adds an icon to the adress bar when a RSS/ATOM feed is available for the website you're on. Click to add a live feed bookmark. The addon regularly updates those bookmarks, just like Firefox does/did. If now the bookmarks had the correct favicon I'd give it 5 stars, but that's an API-problem atm afaik... - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 10199255, 7 years agoGood follow-up for the old live bookmarks. Didn't encounter any problems yet. I'd like to at least be able to choose between some icons though, the icon could use some color imho. Anyway, keep up the good work!

- Rated 4 out of 5by Underpass, 7 years agoGood surrogate of the much missed RSS features in Firefox. The Livemarks folder icon should be different from "normal" bookmarks icons.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14207240, 7 years agoThank you for this Add-on. I'm gonna need it when Mozilla turns off the dynamic bookmarks. But I've found some differences. Perhaps there is a way to integrate the following points.
- Dynamic bookmarks of Firefox show more entries (if available). I tried it with the feed of orf.at (Austrias most popular news site)
- When I have read a bookmark the icon changes. That's very useful.
- The description field is automatically filled in the dynamic bookmarks (irrelevant but just saying)
Btw. if you need a translator for German I can help you. - Rated 4 out of 5by MonkPredator04, 7 years agoReally useful, reminds me of Liveclick (http://pzlc.protej.com/liveclick/home/) a lot. There are some features that Firefox might allow permissions for in the future that will help this extension to be even better but I am already very, very glad this exists!
