Отличный сайт и материалы очень познавательные

If I can have NewsFox on SM 2.0, can I migrate my existing NewsFox, and its subscriptions (all on SM 1.1.11, to which I still have access)? Can I use the 'export' process on SM 1.1.11? Into which folder or file in SM 2.0 could I put my previous version of NewsFox, if this can be done? Thanks in advance.

I've just installed the new SeaMonkey 2 and added Newsfox.  I use Newsfox only for RSS feeds on sites requiring authentication (eg LiveJournals where some entries are hidden unless you're logged in).  When I installed it, although I am logged in to LJ, Newsfox only picked up the non-logged in RSS feed.  I was able to fix this by going through my feeds, and force-reloading each of them.  However, when I'm in Newsfox and select one of the "protected" entries, I just get the "please login" screen on LiveJournal.  Note: I have NewsFox set to show web pages rather than just text.
This used to work fine on SeaMonkey 1.1.x.  Any ideas?
Thanks,
Raj.

Hi all,
I'm a newbie to Newsfox and have installed it on SeaMonkey 1.1.18.  My question is if you have to have the NewsFox chrome window open (in a tab) for it to be able to auto-refresh the feeds to find new items, or if you can leave it closed and just use the statusbar icon to check if there are new items?
Thanks,
Raj.

Hi!
I am running a phpBB3 board software with a rss mod. It is restricted to registered users.
Checking the rss feed for updates works once with Newsfox. After checking I am logged off the board. So when checking a second time for updates the board can't see me as a registered user. I don't know why I get logged off. I suspect NewsFox to mess around with cookies. I don't have this problem with the builtin RSS reader from Firefox or other RSS extensions like Wizz RSS.
 
Regards!

example page: http://www.gulli.com/news/stefan-niggemeier-schon-wieder-2009-07-02/
I use the following javascript web filter:
var news = linkDOM.getElementById("newsSingleItem");
news.innerHTML;
Some html code is then displayed in the text. I looked into the pages source code and I think it is some code that is wrapped in <noscript> tags.

I just tested newsfox for about 3 weeks. Everything seemed fine. But today, i wanted to start reading news, when suddenly an Error appeares:

XML-Verarbeitungsfehler: Kein Element gefunden
Adresse: chrome://newsfox/content/newsfox.xul
Zeile Nr. 355, Spalte 10:
----------------^

and translated it should be
XML-processing error: no element found
adress: chrome://newsfox/content/newsfox.xul
line no. 355, col. 10:
----------------^

Does anybody now the reason? And... an answer to the problem?

Thanks a lot...

Hi. I have drawn a new icon for newsfox.
image attach
If it is pleasant to download here: http://img0.liveinternet.ru/images/attach/b/3//3726/3726368_icon_newsfox...

The newsfox is update the Rss one by one

it's very slow in my 3G dialup net

so...why not using multi-connection for the Rss update?

update 5 or more Rss at the same time?

sorry for my poor English,Hope someone can understand me ...

I'm puzzled by the behavior of Newsfox (1.0.5rc1) when I update and install a new copy of the "feed.xml" file. For example, in this updated xml file, I have added one or more items, which I expect to see in newsfox when I refresh the feed.

Unfortunately, I do not, and I cannot determine what triggers the feed to update. I've tried various things like removing the feed completely, and then re-adding it. Yesterday, I updated/re-installed my feed.xml file, and then suddenly about 12 hours later, my change to the feed began appearing. Welcomed, but unexpected, and it sorta seems non-deterministic, not to mention a big waste of time.

I keep my .mozilla directory on a flash drive - this allows me to keep my firefox settings at any computer and across any system (Linux/Windows).
I do the same for ThunderBird.

In order to keep newsfox available across all systems - I would need to create a *relative* path to the feeds.
i.e. I cannot point newfox to file:///media/disk/Documents/04-NewsFox/ on a windows machine, it would want to
see something like e:/Documents/04-NewsFox/

It seems simple enough, but my relative paths do not seem to work.

Is it infact possible to do this?

I have successfully downloaded NewsFox to use with SeaMonkey and find that I need some additional direction. When I am on a site with a characteristic orange symbol, and click on it, a window appears and asks me what program I want to use. A typical selection is offered.
However, I imagined that in order to use this symbol at all, I would have had to first copy and paste the URL of the page into NewsFox. The NewsFox overview is not clear on this, and I am wondering if anyone in this forum can let me about the process involved in order to use the orange symbol on a particular page. Thanks in advance.
