Do not work any more with https://www.ghacks.net/feed/

Describe the bug
Since a few days, the list of entries is no more updated, or to be more exact, is updated only once every 5 or 10 days

If we click on the icon in https://www.ghacks.net while livemarks is active, we can see a list of entries consistent with what is stored in bookmark, but is out of date vs what is proposed on the site.
Conversely, if we click on the icon while livemarks is de-activated, download the corresponding file, and open it with a text editor, we can see that its content is up-to-date !

Issue is then clearly in livemarks

I have noticed the same thing, and in my case it's related to the Firefox native HTTPS-only mode. If it is on, some sites do not update, but as soon as I turn it off, they update again. I have tried adding some of the RSS feed addresses to the exclusion list but it does not help. However, if I go to the RSS feed URLs directly by putting it in the address bar it works. I hope this information helps.

Personnally, I DO NOT have this option set, and nevertheless I have the issue

• not permanently (from time to time) with ghacks.net RSS feed
• but permanently (ie. always) with Zdnet.fr RSS feed (see Entries of Zdnet.fr feed are (almost) never updated #342 )

While both are correctly managed by Feedbro extension

@LaurentGrenet @daveyearke Livemarks 3.4 was just released, please check if this fixes the issue for you.

I regret to say that the issue does not appear to be fixed for me. Several feeds where the problem is occurring are:

http://rss.slashdot.org/Slashdot/slashdotMain?format=xml

http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories.rss?format=xml

http://feeds.macrumors.com/MacRumors-All?format=xml

When Firefox's HTTPS-Only option is on, the livemarks don't load. When I turn it off, they do. I've tested this by deleting the livemarks from the relevant folders and letting them reload. In fact, as of this morning I can't get the last one to refresh, even with HTTPS-Only turned off. Not sure what's going on with that one.

I hope this helps.

Oh. I somehow got confused. This issue is purely related to HTTPS-only mode. (I think #342 might be the caching issue that should now be fixed)

I think currently there is no way for an extension to request resources that only support http when HTTPS-only mode is enabled.

Actually we already have an issue for this: #304
