Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 469503

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Roger Watt]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X 10.4; en-US; rv:1.9.1b2) Gecko/20081201 Firefox/3.1b2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X 10.4; en-US; rv:1.9.1b2) Gecko/20081201 Firefox/3.1b2

RSS feeds were working fine until I updated to 3.1b2 ... now, they don't get updated when I start up Firefox. And when I select a feed from the Bookmarks Toolbar, the list of previous news items is repeated, anywhere from three to five times.

I tried deleting each RSS feed and resubscribing to it; things worked for that one session only; but the next time I started Firefox, the problem was back again.
