The dropdown menu called "Latest Headlines" under the back, foward, home ect.
buttons doesn't function properly.  When I click on it, it always says "Live

I used to have version 1.0 PR, and that dropdown worked, but now it doesn't.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Mozilla Firefox
2.Click Latest Headlines
3.There you go it says "live bookmark loading...."

Actual Results:  
It says "live bookmark loading..."

Expected Results:  
It should have shown all the latest headlines; otherwise called news of the day.

Profiles created Firefox before version 1 (or nightlies before 20041029) will
have the link 
http://fxfeeds.mozillazine.org/rss20.xml 
for Latest Headlines. It has now moved to
http://fxfeeds.mozilla.org/rss20.xml

You can modify the Live Bookmark by right clicking on it and selecting
properties. Then paste the new link in over the old one.


CC'ing David Tenser as possible new FAQ item.

Kerz has CNAMEd fxfeeds.mozillazine.org to fxfeeds.mozilla.org, so the Latest
Headlines Live Bookmark in old profiles that still point to
fxfeeds.mozillazine.org should suddenly start working again.
