I use a proxy and have to enter my username/password when I first load any page that's outside the network. This is ok. The problem is that my live bookmarks appear to try to load when Firefox opens (before I enter my username/pw) and thus fail. They all show "Live bookmark feed failed to load" and I have to manually refresh each one (after I have entered my username/pw to access a web site)...this is a major pita.

Example:
- Open Firefox
- Live bookmarks fail to load
- Go to a web site
- Prompted for proxy username + password
- Website loads
- Have to be refresh my live bookmarks ('Reload Live Bookmark' menu option)


Is there a way to have my live bookmarks load with a username/pw, or only have them try to load after I've entrered my username/pw.

Thanks smile.gif

Reload all your Live Bookmarks aka RSS feeds with a push of a button.

Why don't you download something like Portable Firefox, then use it to initially log into your company's proxy server, and then load up the full version of Firefox which should auto-load all your live bookmarks?
