851327 - prompt to live-bookmark autodiscovered RSS feeds

Status: RESOLVED INACTIVE

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, enhancement)

Description

[Mike Sierra]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_7_5) AppleWebKit/536.26.17 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/6.0.2 Safari/536.26.17

Steps to reproduce:

bookmarked a page


Actual results:

was prompted for title/location of bookmark


Expected results:

When bookmarking a page, user should have alternative option to
live-bookmark a feed. Pages can specify more than one feed, e.g., RSS
vs. Atom feeds, content vs. comment feeds, full-comment vs.
item-specific comment, etc. Feeds are autodiscovered primarily via
<link> tag.  Can also be scraped from markup/DOM if hyperlinked on
page; typical filenames match *.rss, feed.xml or atom.xml,
occasionally older *.rdf feeds. In marginal cases, can fish around for
invisible feeds based on common URL conventions.
