User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050908 Firefox/1.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050908 Firefox/1.4

Firefox 1.5b1 now locates the Live Bookmark icon in the address bar.  The entry
for "Live Bookmark" in the glossary is no longer correct.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the Help Viewer.
2. Search for Live Bookmark.

Actual Results:  
The description is:

A special type of bookmark that acts as a folder to contain the links in a feed.
 You can create a Live Bookmark by visiting a site with a feed, clicking on the
Live Bookmark icon in the Status Bar, and selecting the feed format you wish to use.

Expected Results:  
It should now read:

A special type of bookmark that acts as a folder to contain the links in a feed.
 You can create a Live Bookmark by visiting a site with a feed, clicking on the
Live Bookmark icon in the ADDRESS Bar, and selecting the feed format you wish to
use.

Boaz, it's great you want to help out with the Firefox documentation. It would
be more helpful if you could make a patch in the correct format so it can be
contributed to Firefox, a good place to start with Help Documentation is
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/help-viewer/help, the people at the
#documenation channel at irc.mozilla.org can also help you out.

I think we're talking here about the Location Bar not the Address Bar, it's a
little off topic, but the tooltip for the Go button says 'type a location in the
address field, then click Go.' I'm struggling to work out where the address
field ends and the Location Bar begins, perhaps this is a bug?

Actually, I don't much care for the address bar icon anyway.  I'd much rather
keep it in the status bar...

Gids: good catch of that Go button tooltip.  It does seem as though every part
of Firefox refers to it as the Location bar except that!  So I would revise my
suggestion to Location bar instead of Address bar.

I bet it was moved so it would look similar to how Opera, Safari, and Netscape
all indicate RSS feeds.  I didn't mind the statusbar, either.

I got rid of the 'feed format' bit since many feeds aren't available in
multiple formats.

Yes, this both makes sense and slightly un-geekifies the entry.
