    A very good idea, but this extensions not *yet* usable (at least not in my case). It breaks the following Firefox features I use:
    - Firefox sync (some RSS article links got changed to empty folders, there are problems with synchronizing subscribed RSS channels),
    - Recent bookmarks "magic" folder got flooded with RSS entries (all RSS entries got there, pushing off bookmarks I added manually).
    I'll update my review when things change :)
    Too bad Mozilla decided to delete a good feature because "people don't use it", but they didn't actively promote it :(

    Hello morkil,

    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 ?

    Also, the recent bookmarks folder situation should be improved as we no longer recreate the bookmarks when updating them.

    Thanks again.

    German special charakters like äöüß can not be displayed yet.
    For example this feed: https://rss.golem.de/rss.php

    Also a site visited marker would be an awesome feature.

    Great replacement for live bookmarks. There were some issues that got fixed, now the only missing thing is highlighting of unread/new feed items, but it will eventually be added too.

    Hi Denny,

    Thanks for the review.
    Do you have a sample OPML that reproduces the issue ?

    All the other problems are known, and I'm working on them :)

    Very good replacement for disappearing Live bookmarks feauture from Firefox core!

    Additionally to integrated live bookmarks, this extension also show favicons for each item, and can be used as shared bookmarks folder for team, eg for create quick links to corporate services, deployed from company sysadmin to all company empoyees.

    Unique in way they open and scroll like regular items in the bookmarks menu just like Live Bookmarks did. Other rss reading add-ons I've seen/used open in the sidebar, page, or panel which requires more clicking and/or manual scrolling. I find the Livemarks way more efficient for feeds that have many items and are frequently updated. Includes option for refresh interval and ability to import/export feeds (or add them by entering feed url in Options dialog).

    Issues:
    * Settings dialog seems excessively slow to load.
    * Would it be possible to add some way to distinguish between read/unread items? (Live Bookmarks did this and it's the only major missing feature; 5 stars with that ability added.)
    * Is there any method to change the default folder to one located on the Bookmarks Toolbar instead of the Bookmarks Menu? (Edit: You can just drag the folder to the toolbar and it still seems to work fine.)

    Update: Above issues no longer affect me with current version. Big 'Thank You!' for the read/unread feature.
