How do i turn off live bookmarks in firefox 5

baltten · 2011-08-10 22:43:41

Please some help me this is driving me crazy.
So here's the problem, while subscribing to the rss feed i accidently ticked the box that says always use live bookmarks to subscribe to feeds.
Does anybody know how to turn off this feature as when i click on a feed it comes up with a dialogue box subscribe to feeds and wants me to bookmark it.
Instead of showing me the feed in firefox browser, firefox wants me to bookmark it and if i press cancel i get a blank page.
I have tried deleting the bookmarks but it still gives me the dialogue box subscribe to feeds, i have been all the tools/options
and cant find anything that matches live bookmarks.

I have asked the question to google and found other people have the same problem but with no answer,
please someone help, i have spent 2 days trying to sort this out.

Thanks
balty

Thanks fonebuzz for the quick response that was exactly what i was looking for
(anyone else with the same problem scroll down to fonebuzz's reply).

Go to: Tools > Options > Applications - in 'Applications' there are 2 lists; "content type" and "action" scroll down the the list under "content type" and look for 'Web Feed'.
On the opposite column under "actions" you will see 'add live bookmarks in firefox' click and select "preview in firefox" - Thats it click OK to close 'options'.
