295812 - Reload RSS articles/pages

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(MailNews Core :: Feed Reader, enhancement)

Description

[Ben Shadwick]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird version 1.0.2 (20050317)

Sometimes my Internet connection times out when Thunderbird is trying to load
the page for an RSS article. The only way I know of currently to work around
this is to click on a different article and then click again on the one that I
actually wanted to view.

It would be better if there was some combination of hotkey, drop-down menu
option, and/or right-click option for reloading (and maybe stopping) a RSS
article page in the browser pane.

Another idea would be to display a "load failed due to timeout" message to the
user in the browser pane when a load times out, which could optionally contain a
"click here to reload" button.

I should mention that I got the idea for this from using Myk Melez' excellent
Forumzilla extensin for Mozilla Suite. I recently switched to Thunderbird and
miss this feature that Forumzilla has and TBird does not (to my knowledge).

Reproducible: Always

(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
