I have a live bookmark that points to www.photoshopuser.com/feed. This feed requires a login with my Usrname and pword. I have entered these and FF (latest version) has them stored. If I open the site from the live bookmark, the site loads at the login screen with the username/pwd filled in. I then have to press enter. After this the bookmark loads but not until. Is there a way to have a live bookmark login in to a site. IE does not have this problem. What if anything can I do?

Hi cor-el. I appreciate the pointer to another RSS reader. That is indeed a workaround, but it doesn't fix my problem on FF. IE 9 (heaven forbid!) handles this functionality just fine and I want FF to be able to do that too. I like a lot about FF but, it's creating more work for me to get my feeds.

Firefox currently doesn't support RSS feeds that require authentication AFAIK (I had seen this mentioned before), so that is the probably best way to deal with this right now.

Thanks cor-el. I was drawing that conclusion just from my experience. Looks like it's back to my old way!
