Warning – Sage 1.4.5 is still vulnerable to certain type of attacks. Please read the following article and I hope this helps you to consider countermeasures.
thanks for this, I’ve been lost with my sage. Every time firefox updates they break sage compat and I keep looking for another RSS reader but nothing matches the Sage.
Good to see Sage updated, but my install seems broken. Its not possible to select any folder other than Bookmarks Menu as the feed folder – is this normal? Any idea what pref(s) I can hack on to fix it?
Im not sure I like this new version of Sage. It doesnt behave like 1.4.4 behaved. Specifically, when I hit the Check Feeds button, 1.4.4 turned each feed bold if it found new posts … so as 1.4.4 went down the list, you could see each one turn bold in sequence. In 1.4.5, they dont turn bold unless I specifically move my cursor over the feed name. Is that how it is supposed to work? (Windows XP, Firefox 3.6 if that matters)
This behavior isn’t consistent in 1.4.5, and just now, I clicked on “Check Feeds” and then minimized Firefox and did some work in another application. When I maximized Firefox, all feeds with new posts were bold.
The following URL shows double entries on some articles, when the actual RSS feed when viewed with live bookmarks does not.
chrome://sage/content/feedsummary.html?uri=http%3A%2F%2Frss.news.yahoo.com%2Frss%2Fentertainment http://rss.news.yahoo.com/rss/entertainment
I found the folder all my rss feeds are at and used Sage to locate them and the name of the folder is now wiped out. Is there any way to retain the name of the folder?
I am wondering how to keep the folder name from being erased too. It happens every time I open the Bookmarks Toolbar or organize my bookmarks. Very annoying.
Sage keeps changing the name of my folder to (no title) and renaming newly added feed names to their long name. All feeds that were in place when I updated have kept their short names I gave them under Sage a few revisions ago.
Sage 1.4.5 causes high CPU load of around 20% on my Firefox 3.6. After starting Firefox CPU load is normal then starts increasing after a while up to 20%. Sage sidebar is opened all the time. After disabling Sage it went back to normal.
What a great news!!!
Thx a lot man.
Finally! Thanks!
I had to use this URL to get the official 1.4.5 update:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/77
The other URL
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/downloads/file/79182/sage-1.4.5-fx.xpi needs a login, but the one I mentioned works without a login.
And at first sight, 1.4.5 works ok with FF 3.6

Higmmer, if you can demonstrate a vulnerability, I would be very interested.
@Peter Andrews:
I’ll send the test file by e-mail soon.
It’s very simple.
Now, has this bug and vulnerability been fixed (or going to be fixed)?
Gosh I’ve been wating for this!
The icons wont update until you hover over them with your mouse.

I have the same issue. Can’t select folder where my feeds are. I can select different folder but the “ok” button doesn’t do anything.
Issue solved. I had a double “Feed” file in my bookmarks folder. I removed the copy and Sage is working!! Thank you! Best Rss reader!
Super … thanks for the relatively quick update. Next time I’ll be a bit slower to auto-update Firefox — I don’t like being without my favorite add-on!

Sounds like we may have a bug. I’ll take a look.

thanks for this eager awaited update!
Hallelujah!!!!!!!!!
After I upgraded FF and realized sage was incompatible, I migrated all my rss feeds to google reader.
Now now matter where I look at a feed, its updated and I dont have to mark an article read – twice.
Wish sage did this….
I found the folder all my rss feeds are at and used Sage to locate them and the name of the folder is now wiped out. Is there any way to retain the name of the folder?
I am wondering how to keep the folder name from being erased too. It happens every time I open the Bookmarks Toolbar or organize my bookmarks. Very annoying.

Thank you thank you thank you.
Recent upgrades of Firefox have been a nightmare as far as I’m concerned.
They crapped out dozens of my extension, including Sage.
I’d heard that Sage was dead and have been looking for an alternative, but none of them seem to offer the functionality and usability of Sage.
Whatever yoou do keep this going.
Sage creates new “sage feeds” folder in bookmark each time when I start firefox, Why?
