Details

I have two feeds subscribed as live bookmarks, one is: Error: undefined entity Source File: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&short_desc=&long_desc_type=substring&long_desc=&bug_file_loc_type=allwordssubstr&bug_file_loc=&keywords_type=allwords&keywords=&emailcc1=1&emailtype1=exact&email1=timeless%4example.com&emailassigned_to2=1&emailreporter2=1&emailqa_contact2=1&emailcc2=1&emailtype2=substring&email2=&bugidtype=include&bug_id=&chfieldfrom=&chfieldto=Now&chfieldvalue=&field0-0-0=noop&type0-0-0=noop&value0-0-0=&ctype=rss Line: 19, Column: 5 Source Code: <link rel="Saved&nbsp;Searches" title="My Bugs" the other is: Error: syntax error Source File: http://konigsberg.mozilla.org/feed.cgi Line: 1, Column: 50 Source Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"> I know they're subscribed as live bookmarks because periodically those two messages appear in my error console, it's very annoying. (the feed.cgi is never going to return a 200, it might return a 403 instead of a 401 depending on whether you're whitelisted, but i promise it will never return rss even though hypothetically it is supposed to [this is based on a real service which expired my login credentials and had 4 rss feeds served by bugzilla behind http auth) build id: 20081117040154
So your EXPECTED RESULT is "silently fail to load my live bookmarks with absolutely no way for me to know what the problem is, or even that there is a problem"?
either wontfix, or need to find a way to manage this in an elegant way.

Bug 451915 - move Firefox/Places bugs to Firefox/Bookmarks and History. Remove all bugspam from this move by filtering for the string "places-to-b-and-h". In Thunderbird 3.0b, you do that as follows: Tools | Message Filters Make sure the correct account is selected. Click "New" Conditions: Body contains places-to-b-and-h Change the action to "Delete Message". Select "Manually Run" from the dropdown at the top. Click OK. Select the filter in the list, make sure "Inbox" is selected at the bottom, and click "Run Now". This should delete all the bugspam. You can then delete the filter. Gerv

since we don't reload live bookmarks automatically, this problem is somehow reduced, still annoying but at stated in comment 1 hiding the error would also be a bad behavior...
