- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14510951, 6 years agoUse this addon to add and manually install live bookmarks from atom or rss, and then switch it off. In Quantum it pushes up CPU usage to the point my laptop fan came on, and Firefox was incredibly laggy. Now I know it's foibles, I'm happy to carry on using it - disabled most of the time - and Firefox is back to being fast.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14502669, 6 years agoGood workaround for the discontinued Firefox RSS bookmark functionality but I wish it could leave unchanged the Recently bookmarked list.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Mirek, 6 years agoThanks for this extension!
Please, add marking read/visited articles/links and maybe some code optimization for better performance - and it will be perfect add-on :-) - Rated 4 out of 5by imqqmi, 6 years agoThanks for bringing back the live rss bookmarks! How ironic it's based on an extension for chrome to provide Firefox like live bookmarks!
A few suggestions to improve:
- Done! Show which article is read
- Show icon of feed instead of the folder icon
- Remove icon in the drop down menu, some icons are annoying when displayed multiple times in a vertical row.
Keep up the good work! - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13272218, 6 years agoIt's comfortable to me. Please add the function to reflesh the feeds when stating up the browser.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14499466, 6 years agoPlease mark (ex. change color, icon, ...) read articles in bookmark menu.
- Rated 4 out of 5by kingsword, 6 years agoNecessary just to slow down the rate FF is going to dump (self-censored because writing the blunt truth is against guidelines apparently).
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12657887, 6 years agoSuper! I was quite frightened when Ffx updated to v64 and reported the end of livemarks. Then I discovered this extension and I really like it. As the others already said: I also would appreciate read/unread flag and custom icons - then it would be a perfect 5 for me. Thanks anyway!
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14496423, 6 years agoLive RSS were basically the reason I stick with Firefox ... Livemarks saves this, but with 2 (quite big) limits:
1. Your bookmark has an anonymous folder icon instead of the real website icon.
2. No way to track which feed you have already read or not. - Rated 4 out of 5by Thomas Bertels, 6 years agoGreat replacement for the removed livemarks feature.
Only two missing things:
- custom icon for the feed title (instead of folder, a RSS one would be better)
- longer feed items titles length
I'm not sure if those two things are possible though.
I also have a bug: livemarks options pop-under (in Livemarks options) have a 5 seconds delay before getting displayed - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14496034, 6 years agoGood replacement but please add read/unread indicator (as it was before in firefox). Thanks
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12327629, 6 years agoWorking simillar to the discotinued Firefox Rss for me.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14495848, 6 years agoToo bad the functionality was removed from Firefox. This plugin seems to be a good replacement. The only thing I miss so far is a read/unread indicator for each news.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Martijn Donath, 6 years agoAfter the initial shock of having Live Bookmarks removed from Firefox (oh nooooo!) I was extremely happy to find this little add-on which replaces the original functionality in exactly the way I already liked it. Well, maybe the read/unread indicator is missing, that would be even better.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14494380, 6 years agoWorks like the original except of syncing Settings/OPML between Browsers on different computers. Then it would be 5 stars.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12892500, 6 years agoHope it will be a new feature to see read and/or unread topics and also a sync between browsers on different computers.
- Rated 4 out of 5by JD, 6 years agoMostly works as expected and is a suitable replacement for the FF live bookmarks. But synchronization between multiple FF instances still doesn't work (with v1.10) - it also didn't with 1.8 and as I've seen, the sync feature has been removed in the meantime (I think with 1.9). It should be possible to use FF sync for add-ons and their settings, right?

- Rated 4 out of 5by Miles-Prower, 6 years agoA much-needed add-on since Mozilla decided to openly kill RSS support (and weirdly advertises Pocket as a pseudo-alternative in its help pages).
Setting it up is a bit rough as of now but works. Sync across multiple devices however causes a few issues - for instance the other devices do see the new folder bookmarks, but do not understand they're Livemarks out of the box. - 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 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.
