275185 - Safari RSS is cooler than Live Bookmarks

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 251405

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, enhancement)

Description

[Grey Nicholson (they/them)]

Safari can display feeds' contents in the main browser window; the amount of
content shown can be varied; newsfeeds can be searched; several feeds can be
aggregated; items' full titles are shown; Safari looks cool.

This is by design.  We don't want to be a full-on RSS reader/aggregator, the
goal is simply to provide a dynamic set of bookmarks using RSS feeds, a "light"
feed reader if you will.  There's been bugs on this before (WONTFIXed), and
we've pointed to the Sage extension and/or Thunderbird as better examples if you
want to read syndicated content inline.

DUPME?!

It's a six-pack o' bugs, with part 1 being a dup of bug 251405 (et seq.), part 2
being dependent on part 1, part 3 probably uninteresting (or baffling if it
searches unshown content) without part 1, part 4 being a dup of bug 258479, part
5 being a dup of bug 253893 if you want wide menus, any of a slew of
interlocking bugs if you want tooltips, and part 6 being libelous.

Still, wontfix would say "we won't make Firefox cooler than Safari", and
everyone acts like "enhancements can't be invalid" is carved in stone...

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