I know this isn't the exact forum for this, but I didn't know where else to post this.

On my website's blogging system, the RSS feed on Firefox updates fine, but the Atom feed doesn't. According to feedvalidator.org, my Atom feed is perfect Atom 1.0. I'm not really sure what would cause Firefox to do this. Any thoughts?

What version of Firefox are you running?

3.0.11

I'm wondering if it has something to do with how I have feeds set up. When I first built my RSS feed (which I built before my Atom feed), I found out that Firefox was set by default to only update RSS feeds every hour. Someone told me how to open some sort of menu (cautiously, mind you) and what to find in order to set to move the time up. That was the ONE thing I modified, and I would have thought that it would have worked for Atom feeds as well. However, I built the Atom feed after I modified Firefox, and since I've been using it, the live bookmark only updates itself if I reload it.

This could be completely wrong, of course. I just thought it was worth mentioning since both RSS and Atom are syndication feeds.

You mean about:config? That shouldn't cause the Atom feed to stop updating. :P Anyway, get on the 3.5 bandwagon (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/upgrade.html).

That might have been it.

I wonder why Firefox didn't tell me that 3.5 was out? I always update Firefox as soon as the newest (non-beta) version is released, but I didn't even know 3.5 existed:confused: Anyway, I'm using 3.5 now, but that didn't fix the feed:(

I've been with the beta and release candidates, and I always got update notifications... Hmm.

As for the feed, I have no idea what could be causing it. I don't subscribe to RSS feeds so I don't have experiecnce working with them in Firefox.

What about Atom? Though I suppose they're basically the same, so we probably still won't figure it out just yet.

I should ahve said just "feeds." :) You might look around The Knowledge Base (http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/) to see if there is an article on it.

I'll take a look at that. Thanks:)

I just thought of this: are you sending the correct headers? Example:

header("Content-Type: application/atom+xml; charset=UTF-8");

I've got this in there:

header("Content-Type: text/xml");

It's not for Atom specifically, but feedvalidator doesn't give me any errors with it. But anyway, I actually got it working:) It was a problem with the query. I ended up having to set up a second query to get the results I wanted.

Thanks for your help:)
