Live bookmarks are great. They make RSS feeds just a little easier for folks that might not have a feed reader of choice. There are a few things lacking from the experience though. Thankfully though there is now a Firefox extension that fills in the holes when it comes to live bookmarks and how they work.

What is LiveClick all about? Here is an answer, right from the developers.

LiveClick lets you assign a location URL to any live bookmark and treat the livemark (the feed folder in your bookmarks menu or toolbar) like an actual, clickable bookmark. Why? Because it 1) makes livemarks a bit more functional and 2) lets you bookmark another page from the same site (i.e. the home page) without having to create a separate bookmark.

Don’t forget to visit LiveClick’s homepage for more information, screenshots, and frequently asked questions.

If you use live bookmarks via Firefox, then there is no reason why you should not be using this extension. Want to see it in action? Check out the screenshots. It really does fill in any gaps there might be in the whole live bookmarks idea.

This Firefox extension is for versions 1.5 and up of the browser. If you want to download it and try it out for yourself, you can do so at the Mozilla Update Web site.
