It would be great if they restored the `Smart Bookmarks` feature they removed a number of years ago. Smart Bookmarks were fantastic. Add your favorite sites' RSS feeds to your bookmark toolbar and you'd have all the recent headlines from all your favorite sites at one click. Fortunately I wasn't the only one that appreciated this long neglected feature so someone created Livemarks (https://github.com/nt1m/livemarks/) that mostly replicated its functionality, but it's not quite the same as having native support for them.

Shout-out to the Livemarks / Foxish plugins which gives you RSS support on your Bookmarks toolbar. Still nothing better IMO for quickly browsing dozens of headlines across dozens of sites.

Dropping support for RSS feeds was an ill decision from them; thankfully there are extensions to restore and extend the functionality. https://nodetics.com/feedbro/ https://github.com/nt1m/livemarks/

I highly recommend it as I've been on the web a long time and have yet to come across a faster way to check all my favorite sites at once.

Yes, I still use the Firefox dynamic bookmarks with the help of an extension that reproduces the classic Firefox behavior. Livemarks: https://github.com/nt1m/livemarks/

I added Livemarks. It helps, but it's still missing a critical feature of the old extension- the icon showing which RSS links you've already visited. That'll be added at some point at least: https://github.com/nt1m/livemarks/issues/17 Still, this update felt particularly user hostile. My user experience was: - I'm in the middle of browsing and open a tab to do a search, but the new tab shows the "Firefox needs to restart because updates are more important than you!“ page. - I'm forced to restart. Manually, since the automatic restart is probably broken on my system. Tab state in some SPA tabs are lost. - Now I have to migrate my live bookmarks. They converted themselves to regular bookmarks- I have to right click and delete those one by one. Then I install Livemarks, import the exported bookmarks data, and then drag those one by one to my

Is this the version that kills Live Bookmarks? Some of us FF old-timers are hopelessly reliant on these things, and it's, as far as I have found, the fastest way to quickly scan lists of headlines from all your favorite sites at once. Seriously, one click and you can quickly mouse over the sites on your bookmarks toolbar to consume hundreds of headlines. I really, REALLY hate that they're killing this feature, but this addon promises to restore it: https://www.ghacks.net/2018/07/30/livemarks-restores-live-bo...
