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.

Re: Auto-Refresh and Refresh all feeds on Startup not working

Beginning in 1.0.4 for browsers that set general.useragent.extra.firefox(eg Firefox and Flock types):

1) if the string contains 'fox/1', Firefox 1.x will be assumed.
2) if the string contains 'fox/2', Firefox 2.x equivalent(Flock based on Gecko <= 1.8) will be assumed.
3) otherwise it will be assumed the browser is capable of Firefox 3 type stuff.

Currently, it goes the other direction. It seems weird that Minefield and Gran Paradiso would set this preference, or if they do that it wouldn't contain Firefox somewhere within it(at least Flock does that). They've already set navigator.userAgent equal to Minefield or Gran Paradiso, why are they setting this pref at all? I don't understand why Flock sets it either, they should set general.useragent.vendor?
