264840 - RSS/Live Bookmarks should have a display expiration option

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 260849

Please add options to the livemarks so that posts after a certain amount of time
aren't displayed any longer. Ie, my livemark for planet mozilla scrolls off the
screen, and I'd prefer to only see posts from say, the last 48 hours. Same for
techbargains.com. When an rss feed does't have its posts removed very often, the
livemark folder gets huge and it would be nice to have firefox automatically
filter out the older posts and not display them.

Any plans for this?

The rss feed (at least for planet) has a pubDate field in the xml, so it should
be possible to do this.

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

hiding entries is never good, because people often want to revisit or re-read/find something they already looked at, a valid request is instead to distinguish unread items, and that's bug 260849
