The release notes for version 91.2.1 include this NEW item:

Preference added to disable automatic pausing RSS feed updates after a fetch failure

But I can't find it... Looked into "Blogs & News Feeds" in the Account Settings and searched the Preferences. It's not in the feed subscriptions either.

Somebody knows where I could find it?

The preference is rss.disable_feeds_on_update_failure. The default value is true.

Seems to me the value should be false if you don't want feed updates disabled after an initial failure.

It's in the advanced preferences editor, aka the Config Editor
