- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13974222, 6 years agoA really good, useful addon, but it has a really irritating issue. Some items get duplicated every time your feeds get updated.
Admittedly, I'm not the best at explaining things, so here's an example of what I mean: https://postimg.cc/image/i20mlaxm3/
Overall, this addon is very useful. I use it daily. But that issue is very annoying. - Rated 5 out of 5by hannesd, 6 years agoRefresh did not work in FF v60.0 later -> uninstall Brief, restart FF, install Brief. Now the addon asks for the required premissions -> update works.
- Rated 2 out of 5by SeriousMX, 6 years agoAfter updating FF to v61.0 "Refresh" does not work. Only after Uninstall and Install I can do "Refresh" but once and Brief downloads all feeds not just new.

So it is possible to return in Brief with the back button on the mouse or keyboard, you do not have to close every article.
Only Bamboo had this great feature, but it's not a webextension. That's why I have to use an old portable ERS ff version. - Rated 3 out of 5by VeroOjou-sama, 6 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by der_Dav, 6 years agoExcellent Addon, great work!!
If you have problems (e.g. feeds not loading) you can fix by 'refresh firefox' ! - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14091313, 6 years agoI really like this extension but for a while now it's not working on my home computer, even if I uninstall and reinstall it. The sidebar opens when I click the Brief button in the toolbar but no feeds show up and clicking on anything (like options, refresh, etc.) does nothing. This is version 2.5.8. Works fine on my work computer, so not sure what the deal is.
Update 7/3: This is really messed up but to get Brief to work again I had to go into my Firefox roaming profile and delete all the websites in the "default" folder in the "storage" folder under the profile. Developer response
posted 6 years agoPlease report the problem with more details at the Brief's homepage.- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14081475, 6 years agoBRIEF 2.5.8
It does not update feeds anymore, not even manually.
This has happened since yesterday, since firefox has updated to version 60.0.2
tips?
UPDATE
BRIEF DON'T WORK WITH FIREFOX 60.0.2
I'M RETROCESSED TO BRIEF 2.5.6, AND THIS WORKS PERFECTLYDeveloper response
posted 6 years agoBrief on Firefox 60 works for me. If you come to https://github.com/brief-rss/brief/issues, provide a link to the feed that's not updating and/or error messages, we may be able to find out what's the problem in your case. - Rated 4 out of 5by Andreas 44, 6 years agoFeed Update problem solved: In my case "CCleaner programme" which I run daily erases "permissions.sqlite" file. Once I add this file to the exclude list, everything works fine.

posted 6 years agoWow, a nice find! Glad you discovered the source of this problem. I hope CCleaner or others like it won't just delete the feed database one day. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13516022, 6 years agoAfter getting feeds working now Brief continues to reload the same feeds over and over even with the hide read feeds enabled. There's no recognition that any previous feed has already been downloaded and viewed ???? I end up with constant multiple instances of the same feed.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14077141, 6 years agoUnfortunately the feeds have all disappeared yet in 2.5.7.
I wait bug fix ;)Developer response
posted 6 years agoI've heard such bug reports, investigating them. If you have any additional information, you're welcome to the support thread and/or github issues. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14076024, 6 years ago
