User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.8.1.7) Gecko/20070914 Firefox/2.0.0.7 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.8.1.7) Gecko/20070914 Firefox/2.0.0.7 I have around 25 RSS feeds in my bookmarks with a retrieval time of 1-5 seconds each, which is bad for its own. However, every time I open FF and the feeds are checked, FF locks up itself and slows other applications down dramatically for 30-60 seconds. Shouldn't the fecthing at least be done in a stand-alone thread so I can browse? Reproducible: Always I find this VERY annoying. I've exported these rss and need to import them every time I wanna watch.
Update: I have removed my example link because they have now limited the number of live items to 15. Nevertheless, this problem should occur with any slow-responding and/or big live bookmark.
