283054 - Option to export/import RSS/Livemark feed subscription-list

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, enhancement)

Description

[u88484]

We should have a way to export or import rss/livemarks feed subscriptions.
Thunderbird now currently supports importing of OPML files on the trunk. 

I've had to painstakingly copy and paste over 30 urls into thunderbird instead
of being able to export my feeds and then import them into thunderbird. We can
export our bookmarks so why not RSS/Livemark feeds?

This is somethign that's taken for granted in the world of RSS.  The future definition of an RSS reader will include this concept.

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

I have a question- isn't it possible to export RSS in firefox? I regularly export all my bookmarks and I have noticed that some of my RSS is not exported. Only description is exported without feed location

Come on! This needs to be resolved. So many people switching from other browsers have to re-create their feeds in Fx. It's sooo annoying and it really keeps a lot of users away from Fx.

Bug 451915 - move Firefox/Places bugs to Firefox/Bookmarks and History. Remove all bugspam from this move by filtering for the string "places-to-b-and-h".

In Thunderbird 3.0b, you do that as follows:
Tools | Message Filters
Make sure the correct account is selected. Click "New"
Conditions: Body   contains   places-to-b-and-h
Change the action to "Delete Message".
Select "Manually Run" from the dropdown at the top.
Click OK.

Select the filter in the list, make sure "Inbox" is selected at the bottom, and click "Run Now". This should delete all the bugspam. You can then delete the filter.

This is a good idea, but we have lowered our priority on livemarks, and not many users would be advantaged from this feature.
An add-on would perfectly cover the need here.
