RSS Readers: Firefox Live Bookmarks

www.mozilla.com/firefox/livebookmarks.html 

Firefox’s Live Bookmarks feature automatically keeps track of updates of your favorite blogs and web sites for you, so you always know when new content has been added.

With Live Bookmarks, the content comes to you. Instead of constantly checking Web pages for changes and additions, a Live Bookmark delivers updates to you as soon as they are available.

Here’s how to create a Live Bookmark:
1. When you visit a site you will see the orange icon in the bottom right part of the Mozilla Firefox browser window (the status bar), or if you are using version 1.5 or newer, in the right most part of the address bar.
2. You can add the feed(s) by clicking the orange icon and subscribing to one. If there is more then one RSS feed, Firefox shows a list from which you can pick one.
3. The Add Bookmark dialog appears and you can add the Live Bookmark.

How to manually subscribe to an RSS feed:
1. If a site has an RSS feed, but the orange icon doesn't show up, you can add the feed manually.
2. Select "New Live Bookmark..." in the Bookmarks Manager
3. Enter the URL and other information of the feed.

Firefox’s Bookmarks Toolbar:
Firefox's Bookmarks Toolbar is a good place to save your most commonly used bookmarks. The easiest way to create a bookmark on your toolbar is to mark the site address (URL) and drag & drop it to the toolbar.

1. Select the URL, hold down the left mouse button and move it to the position on the toolbar where you want the bookmark to appear. 
2. Alternatively, you can also add a bookmark to the toolbar by using the "add bookmark" dialog.

If you want to rearrange the order of your toolbar bookmarks, simply drag & drop the bookmark from its old position to a new one.

1. Click on a bookmark and don't release the left mouse button until the arrow is where you want the bookmark to be.
2. When you right-click on a toolbar bookmark, you can easily access the context menu.
