Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox Graveyard :: Microsummaries, enhancement)

When a live title isn't in the Personal Bookmarks toolbar, but anywhere
else, why not reload it when the folder is opened? Or have an
about:config option to enable this? Or allow the microsummary generator
to enable it?
I think that would be quite useful for quickly changing information you
only rarely need. (E.g. the song currently playing on the radio.)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In the Bookmarks menu, open a folder with live titles.
Actual Results:  
The information can be up to a minute old even with the fastest possible updateInterval setting, and get downloaded every minute when I don't need it.

Expected Results:  
The information should not reload every minute, it should just reload when I need it.

By the way, when someone confirms this feature is wanted, I will try to code it myself and get really involved with Mozilla.
