I am used to having a live news feed on my Mozilla home page. I went from 3.6.16 to v 4 and it is gone. I don't see how to find it again. Why must upgrades put us through all this? (another question I realize) I prefer the look of v3.6.16 so went back to it but it remains gone. Any help appreciated, I'll go back to v4 if I can add this back in. TIA.

Not quite as elegant as before when the news feed was a ever-present button on display. That way did not need to use bookmarks, but I'll take it! Thanks TonyE

I discovered this problem the other day. Today I tried bookmarking a couple of pages and Firefox refused to save them. So I followed the procedure found here: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Bookmarks%20not%20saved?s=bookmarks&as=s

Basically, deleting those two files had the additional benefit of resetting the rss feeds that I have as well. Might work for some, might not.
