About LiveClick

Adds feed reading, notifications, favicons, and other enhancements to Live Bookmarks. (Addon for Firefox)

Scheduling checks

Control how often Live Bookmarks check for new items.

By default, live bookmarks are checked automatically for new items every 60 minutes. You can change this interval via LiveClick’s options. You can also request an immediate check at any time by clicking the LiveClick toolbar button.

Of course, you may want to check some live bookmarks more often and others less frequently. LiveClick allows you to specify update intervals on a live bookmark by live bookmark basis. Open a live bookmark’s properties to choose a different interval.

Turn off automatic, startup checks

If you don’t want the service to consume your computer’s resources while you’re browsing, you can turn off automatic checking entirely. Additionally, LiveClick gives you the option of turning off the startup check. This will help people who frequently use Firefox for quick sessions (e.g. doing a simple search on Google or checking their email) and hate the live bookmarks service getting in the way.

Both of these settings are enabled by default. They can be disabled via LiveClick’s Options.

Suspend automatic checks

Live bookmarks can be bothersome when you’re using Firefox to compose a blog post, watch a video, or anything else that requires your complete attention. LiveClick allows you to temporarily suspend automatic checking by selecting the option from the live bookmarks menu or LiveClick’s toolbar button. Simply click the option again to re-enable the checks. Automatic checking also resumes when you next start Firefox, so you don’t need to worry about forgetting to turn them back on.

Furthermore, LiveClick will suspend automatic checking when you enter Private Browsing and resume upon exiting it.
