260491 - Cannot add Livemarks that Firefox doesn't recognise as such

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 255637

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Sander Bouwhuis]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040919 Firefox/0.10
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040919 Firefox/0.10

On http://rss.fok.nl/availableFeeds a list of RSS feeds is provided, but Firefox
doesn't recognise them for what they are (because they lack a correct file
extension maybe?). Since I can't add them as a livemark through the RSS button
that should be in my statusbar by now, there is no way for me to add these feeds
to my list. I think Firefox should at least provide an option to manually add
RSS feeds for cases like this.

You can create live bookmarks manually via the Bookmarks Manager, File -> New
Live Bookmark.. and then paste in the rss link.  That being said, this manual
process could be easier.

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