Auto-Refresh and Refresh all feeds on Startup not working

These features used to work for me, then maybe a week or so ago they just stopped. Manual refreshing still works fine, but I'd prefer not to have to do that every hour or so.

I also had another issue where I was getting some sort of "factory" error (I'd copy the exact text if I still had it), but I managed to fix that issue by removing and reinstalling Newsfox. Luckily I backed up my feeds first.

Sadly the removal and reinstall didn't fix the refreshing issue.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Either way, I would greatly appreciate it if this could be looked into, and if I'm correct, that the useragent check be removed. I'll likely file this as a bug now that I think I know what it is.

NewsFox is available on platforms with different capabilities. You'd need to suggest a better(than the officially suggested) way of checking the useragent in order to get a change. It would be feasible to suggest that the useragent default to Firefox2(the most popular platform) rather than defaulting to the least capabilities.
