- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12657887, 5 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, 5 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, 5 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, 5 years agoGood replacement but please add read/unread indicator (as it was before in firefox). Thanks
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12327629, 5 years agoWorking simillar to the discotinued Firefox Rss for me.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14495848, 5 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, 5 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, 5 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, 5 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, 5 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, 5 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.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Bim, 6 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 4 out of 5by Underpass, 6 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, 6 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, 6 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!
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13443635, 6 years agoLooks like the best replacement for Live Bookmarks that I've seen so far. The only major problem is that it is missing the ability to distinguish read items, which is something the author acknowledges; however, I have no idea if this is even possible with the current WebExtension APIs. I will hope for the future I guess.
