Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Public Pages, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20050110 Firefox/1.0 (Debian package 1.0+dfsg.1-2)

https://addons.update.mozilla.org/extensions/?os=win&application=firefox

and 
https://addons.update.mozilla.org/extensions/?os=win&application=thunderbird

both display a link to separate RSS feeds listing new/updated extensions for
either firefox or thunderbird.  The problem is that both of these have the exact
same title.  

When reading RSS feeds in latest thunderbird, you cannot have two feeds in the
same folder with the exact same title (And there is no easy way to change the
title of the feed, which should be added as a thunderbird bug.)

Both are titled "Mozilla Updates::Newest Extensions"  If this could be changed
to "Mozilla Updates::Newest Firefox Extensions" and "Mozilla Updates::Newest
Thunderbird Extensions" then that would solve the problem.  (Though RSS handling
in thunderbird still needs to be made better eventually...)




Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Try to add both feeds in thunderbird.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
One feed is hidden but the new messages appear, which makes it impossible to
manipulate that feed in any other way.

Expected Results:  
It would be good if thunderbird renamed the feed if there was one already with
that name, so it didn't conflict.
