PortableApps RSS not updating in FF3

Has anyone else had problems with the PortableApps RSS feed not updating in Firefox 3? I have seen this on my work computer and home computer. I have to right click and "Reload Live Bookmark" in order to get the latest.

Never had this problem before with FF 2.0.0.14. If anyone knows a solution, please post.

Thanks.

Recreate

You need to recreate it. FF3 has changed the way it handles RSS feeds so any RSS feeds with a custom icon will fail to update.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Thanks, John. I re-created

Thanks, John.

I re-created the RSS feeds earlier this week on both computers, but will try again.

Even after reloading live

Even after reloading live bookmark, the link goes to:

The requested URL /e107_plugins/rss_menu/rss.php was not found on this server.

Not Us

That URL and link has nothing to do with PortableApps.com at all.

Did you install something else on your drive that hijacked the RSS feed link somehow? I know later releases of Firefox for U3 surreptitiously removed the PortableApps.com bookmarks from user's toolbar but I haven't heard of a piece of software hijacking the feed directly.
