304667 - Live bookmarks won't display MSDN RSS Feed

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 303567

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[M. LaPlante]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

MSDN (Microsoft Developer Network) offers an RSS feed for subscribers to track
new MSDN content.  The URL (http://msdn.microsoft.com/subscriptions/rss.xml) is
a public address.  I've been using FireFox Live Bookmarks to track various RSS
feeds, and have never had a problem with any other feed to date, but the MSDN
one simply fails to load. This has been a problem for months now; it's never
worked for me.  I have maybe 15 other RSS feeds all in the same profile, all of
which work.  The feed itself will display as XML if I type the URL into 'fox, so
I know its not a website problem.  The RSS type is 2.0 according to the file. 
I've double and triple checked the URL in the livebookmark, and it's right.  I
get "Live Bookmark Feed failed to load."

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Add http://msdn.microsoft.com/subscriptions/rss.xml as a Live Bookmark.
Actual Results:  
"Live Bookmark Feed failed to load."

Expected Results:  
Displayed the feed.

I should also add I just tested the feed in Thunderbird, and there it loads
properly.

None of the items have a link element, so we can't do anything very useful with
them, other than the bug 303567 idea of having them all link to the channel/link
(which in this case is just what every item description does).
