There are several sites where Live Bookmarks does not work.

For example, I can find more if necessary:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-adv/rss/front.htm

XML files could be opened in browser

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. add live bookmark with some of proposed addresses
2. open that live bookmark
3.

Actual Results:  
I get the message that the Live Bookmark feed failed to load

Expected Results:  
RSS feed titles should be listed

As far as I can see this is separete bug than bug 260918. If I am wrong then it
is duplicate.

titles, fixed in nightly builds after about 20040930.
