It will save my prefrence until i close the browser, then when i return, i have to either repeate the RSS login, or ignore it and use a standard Bookmark to acess the site. I use a bypass that seems to work: http://User:Pass@url.com/rss-token=###### this works, but it is non-obvious and likewise general users will not figure this out Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.open page with login-RSS Feed 2.Add to navigation bar 3.restart Firefox and access livebookmark Actual Results: Message "live bookmark failed to load" in menu Expected Results: a listing of feeds

Do you have Fx set to "Remember passwords for sites" in Options > Security? If so, did you choose to have Fx "Remember" the feed site log-in info? (Is it in your Saved Passwords?)

yes, in fact, i show 3 saved passowrds for that site. one for the main page, one for https, and one for the rss. the only benefit the rss password gives is when the dialog shows, my password is filled in for me

Places is requesting the feed by opening an HTTP channel, but I'd guess offhand that it's running into same the problem described in bug 425078 comment 8 and on. Authentication prompts from chrome are generally suppressed, because otherwise you get prompts popping up at random times. Some thoughts/options: 1) Just mark this as wontfix, and not support authenticated feeds. (They'd be of limited use anyway, because feed readers like Google's couldn't access them, and there's probably an argument to be made about not encouraging people to hand off their credentials to a 3rd party for access). 2) Only prompt for auth when manually updating the feed. Limits the usefulness of such feeds (you'd have to remember to kickstart them once per browser session), but it at least makes it possible. 3) Block on bug 223636. If the user has a stored login and has marked it for automatic use, then use it without prompting. Otherwise fail as we do today. [This could also be implemented in a Places-specific was by overriding the authentication callbacks, but probably isn't worth the hassle.] 4) Just show the auth prompt, and "oh well" to the problem of randomly appearing prompts.

Bug 451915 - move Firefox/Places bugs to Firefox/Bookmarks and History. Remove all bugspam from this move by filtering for the string "places-to-b-and-h". In Thunderbird 3.0b, you do that as follows: Tools | Message Filters Make sure the correct account is selected. Click "New" Conditions: Body contains places-to-b-and-h Change the action to "Delete Message". Select "Manually Run" from the dropdown at the top. Click OK. Select the filter in the list, make sure "Inbox" is selected at the bottom, and click "Run Now". This should delete all the bugspam. You can then delete the filter. Gerv
