Some RSS feeds are just links to XML pages. Firefox browser cannot know whether
these are RSS feeds or not.
So it would be very useful to have a menu item in the 'bookmark folder context
menu' saying 'New live bookmark' next to 'New bookmark'.
Alternatively the 'New bookmark' dialog can contain a checkbox to mark the
bookmark as a live feedback.
The bug report #255637 states that we should be able to add live bookmarks from
the context menu of a link. Yes, that would be nice too, but that still needs
the links to have one of the valid extensions such as .rss, .xml, etc.
Capabilitiy of manual addition of bookmarks will be a more powerful feature.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
This is a new feature request, it doesn't have steps.

Actual Results:  
So it is not possible to reproduce it.

Expected Results:  
The software should support manual addition of live bookmarks.
