255275 - Live Bookmark unable to load feeds

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Graeme Merrall]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a3) Gecko/20040811 Firefox/0.9.1+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a3) Gecko/20040811 Firefox/0.9.1+

Initially thought this was same as bug# 250834 but appears differently for me.

Original daily builds (from about 2004-08-06) parsed all feeds correctly for RSS
and Atom feeds but since 2004-80-10 builds most feeds have failed to parse with
the message "Live Bookmark feed failed to load"

http://whatdoiknow.org/index.xml (rss2.0)
http://www.alistapart.com/rss.xml (rss2.0)

One that does work is

As an aside, I'm placing these feeds in a folder named "RSS" in my personal
bookmarks folder.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Go to site with RSS feed (http://www.theserverside.com/rss/theserverside-rss2.xml)
add to bookmarks folder.
Actual Results:  
Error "Live Bookmark feed failed to load"

The Feeds listed by Graeme Merrall are working for me.

But since the Live Bookmark Feature was introduced in Firefox I get the same
Error ("Live Bookmark Feed failed to load") Message when firefox parses this feed:

Thunderbird works fine here.

This bug also occurs with ESPN.com's feed (which I never knew they had until the
RSS icon showed up in Firefox).

Sorry, forgot the RSS feed link for ESPN:

http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/rss/news

As of Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040923
Firefox/0.10 these are all WFM from various fixes except ESPN, which is a dup of
bug 253911 - could someone resolve this WORKSFORME?

sorry for bugspam, long-overdue mass reassign of ancient QA contact bugs, filter on "beltznerLovesGoats" to get rid of this mass change
