RSS feed integration in Firefox
In: Mozilla
13 Jul 2004Recently added to the Firefox feature list: Live Bookmarks (or Livemarks). Livemarks weren’t initially intended to make it into Firefox 1.0, as Ben Goodger commented when he filed bug 244078. It seems like they will make it anyway, and have already appeared in nightly branch builds since 2004-07-08.
Livemarks allow you to bookmark an RSS feed and these appear as bookmark folders, with individual items in the feed appearing as bookmarks. Just click on the “bookmark” and you will be taken to the page the item in the RSS feed is pointing to.
A lightning bolt icon appears on sites which have the <link rel=”alternate” type=”application/rss+xml” title=”RSS” href=”http://www.example.com/index.xml” /> bit in the <head> tags. All you got to do is to click on the icon and choose from the syndication formats available.
There’s even a “Refresh Livemark” context menu option to keep your Livemarks up to date.
Not anything that would take me away from the current RSS aggregator I use, but the integration with the bookmarking system is a very intuitive model that would fit into most people’s conceptual model of RSS feeds and bookmarks. I mean, an RSS feed is as good as a bookmark you keep somewhere (only it feeds you live content). RSS feed -> bookmark folder, RSS feed item -> bookmark. Gels nicely for me.
Get a nightly branch build if you’re interested to see it in action for yourself.

Viewing RSS/Atom as bookmark is such a cool idea!
It will be even cooler if the links are bolded while visited links are normal (just like Thunderbird).

Opera still doesn’t do Atom..
Your feed looks so nice in default Sage css !
For frequently updated feeds, Yahoo’s module excels.
Helpful stuff here — keep up the good work!

well, after stumbling across your post, i went and – for the first time – installed a nightly rather than the latest stable-ish release. not bad…although it does show the new “every application will grow until it can read rss/atom” maxim (and i seem to have spotted something about email in the tools menu, so it already covers the old “…until it can read email” one as well)
long time no see, btw :)

[...] There are a couple of ways to read RSS news feeds. One is to install and use a news reader. Another method is to open the feed directly in your web browser by clicking on or bookmarking the feed link. When it is released, Internet Explorer 7 will directly support RSS feeds. On Mac OS X, the Safari web browser has been doing this for quite some time. Firefox is another browser that currently supports RSS feeds in the form of Livemarks. Yet another method is to use a portal such as My Yahoo! or Google Homepage as mentioned above. Google requires you to set up an account to create a custom homepage. This account gives you access to their Gmail service. If you’d like an invite to join this service for free, please contact us as accounts are available by referral only. [...]
