Right-click Add Live Bookmark extension for Firefox

Do you use Live Bookmarks in Firefox? They are one of the wonderful underused features of Firefox. The point of them is to have a live, drop down links to other articles in an RSS feed. Basically a kind of built in aggregator.
Personally I find them no good as an RSS reader. I'd rather use something like Sage or Bloglines because then I get bits or all of the article instead of just the title.
However, Live Bookmarks rock when it comes to del.icio.us as I've blogged about before.
One other handy thing is, if you use Sage, you can feed it Live Bookmarks an it will use them in its aggregator. Sometimes even though it appears there should be a live bookmark on a page you don't get the icon in your status bar because the site designer didn't add the property correctly for auto discovery. To combat this, you can add the Right-click Add Live Bookmark extension. This extension lets you right click on any link on the page that says XML and create a live bookmark from the link.
