Live bookmarks (also known as dynamic bookmarks) along with the built-in RSS / Atom reader have made Firefox one of the best browsers for handling RSS feeds. Unfortunately, these two features were removed from Firefox version 64.
Livemarks – new live bookmarks from older versions of Firefox
Fortunately, all is not lost, as you can still get most of these features back with a small but handy extension called Brands for Firefox. In short, Livemarks aims to fill the void left by the removal of the live bookmarks feature.
It provides RSS feed bookmark folders, which are also regularly updated automatically.
Feature set
As expected for an extension that aims to replace the olf Live bookmarks feature, its feature set is not that complete.
Some of the most notable features include an auto-updating RSS bookmark folder, support for read / not read bookmarks, auto-detection of RSS / Atom feeds on web pages, the ability to import and export feeds as OPML files, as well as a full preview of the feed.
The feed preview lets you see exactly which feed entries will eventually be added to the bookmarks folder if you choose to add the new livemark.
Final words
Before concluding, please note that the extension may not work on all websites. For example, due to Firefox’s tracking protection, some feeds may end up being blocked by default (a good example is Reddit, unfortunately).
Overall, Livemarks for Firefox is a good extension that should please Firefox users in the long run as it provides them with one of their most popular features: the old “Firefox RSS” also known as bookmarks. dynamic.
