The If-None-Match header results in all of my feedburner.com RSS on my LiveMarks (Dynamic Bookmarks) not beeing updated. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Put several feedburner.com RSS links in your LiveBookmarks (dynamic bookmarks). 2. Let them retrieve data for the first time. 3. Notice how you will never get new updates again on those RSS. Actual Results: Notice how you will never get new updates again on those RSS. Expected Results: New updates for those RSS links on regular basis. Only solution: empty cache by hand or use ModifyHeaders extension to modify If-None-Match HTTP header to *. Or even totally disable that header.
Summary: I-None-Match prevents feedburner.com updates → If-None-Match prevents feedburner.com updates
Did this issue occur in previous versions? Does the issue still occur if you start Firefox in Safe Mode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode
Version: unspecified → 4.0 Branch
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:7.0a1) Gecko/20110621 Firefox/7.0a1 Miks, did you manage to try what Tim suggested in Comment 1?
hello everybody, I don’t know if that happens with older firefox version. and using safemode (no addons) doesn’t solve the problem neither. i stopped using firefoxes RSS feature because of that problem, so the problem is not high on my priority list anymore, so if anybody out there (was there anybody at all?) who was intrerested in this, sorry :)
