I have no idea what hap pend. I had the above problem when I tried to subscribe by using the RSS link in the My Active Serials page, but when I went to the Feeds page using the link on the menu bar at the top of the pages, and used the links there, I was able to subscribe OK.

I now have another problem. When I view the feeds using IE7, I can see the items in the feed, but when I use Newsgator FeedDemon, It tells me that “No items match the current filter.” I know that FeedDemon is working, because I have no problems with the feed for your blog.

I tried to sunsctibe to the My Active Serial feed and I got a screen that says “Premier membership expired” I did not think it had, but I renewed it anyway. I went to subscribe again and get the same message. I know that my membership is OK because I I have a 0/100 in te daily cownload count. What do I need to do?

FireFox 3.0 does seem to work better but I am still having trouble with one of my feeds.

I have a feed for “my active serials” which will work fine when created and stay working as long as there is something in the list. If I read all of the stories in the list and then try to access the feed again it will show empty. The problem is that if I try to access the feed sometime later I will get “Live bookmark failed to load” and I can never get the feed to work after that even if I use the reload command.

This seems to work with the new Firefox 3. I guess it’s a good reason not to spend a lot of effort on it in 2.0.14!

I just regenerated the RSS feed links (logging in whilst doing so).

I have been using Firefox 2.0.0.14 with the Newsfox plugin without any problems. The only time I had to log in after the original connection was after I deleted the cookie while trying to work around a problem on another site.

It doesn’t look like anybody at Mozilla thinks this a very high priority.

I guess we shouldn’t hold our breath waiting for a fix.

more likely a oversight. I can’t think of too many sites that require individualized RSS. if you notice, the login for the RSS is just like the one used on a linksys router. which tells me the login doesn’t use cookies. add to that the password manager wants to remember, but all it’s useful for is to fill in the password when you goto re-authenticate (doesn’t re-send the password when you open firefox)

Great! It didn’t even occur to me that something was wrong with Firefox. I just thought it didn’t support RSS authentication.
