If you check specific websites for new content on a regular basis, Live Bookmarks can deliver the most recent updates to you, without having to visit the site.

When a web feed is available from a web page, you can use Firefox to subscribe to it as a Live Bookmark. Firefox checks your Live Bookmarks every hour for updates, which enables you to stay current with the latest information from your favorite sites.

• Live Bookmarks work with any web feed in RSS, RDF, or Atom format.

Add a Live Bookmark

1. Press the Alt key on your keyboard to temporarily show the classic menu bar, then select the Bookmarks menu.On the menu bar, click the Bookmarks menu.
2. If the site has a feed, the Subscribe to This Page... option will be enabled. Click it.

   

3. If available, choose between feeds or comments.
4. Click Subscribe Now on the page that appears.

   

5. Pick a name for your Live Bookmark and choose where to save it. By default, it'll be saved to the Bookmarks Toolbar. Then click Subscribe.

   

6. That is it! Your Live Bookmark is created.

Tip: You can add a Subscribe button to your Firefox toolbar or menu (the button will darken on pages with web feeds). See Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars to learn how.
