Faster Refreshing for Live Bookmarks in Firefox
Do you know how much time does Firefox takes to refresh live bookmarks? Yesterday, I asked some of my friends and about 80% of them said that it takes roughly 30-35 minutes. Well my friends; you are wrong!!
By default Firefox takes 60 minutes (3600 seconds) to refresh its live bookmarks that you previously saved. Now comes another interesting question. Can you reduce or increase the refreshing time? The answer is YES!
So how to set your own time to make the process a bit faster? Here’s how…
1. Open Firefox, and in the address bar, type ‘about:config’
2. A warning will pop-up and click on ‘I promise, I will be careful‘ button.
3. Now in the preference section; right click your mouse button then go to New -> Integer
4. A new window will pop up. Here type the following:
browser.bookmarks.livemark_refresh_seconds
5. Now comes the tough part. Don’t worry, it’s now that hard; you will have to set your own value, which is in seconds. As I already said, the default value is set to 3600 seconds (60 minutes). Change it to anywhere from 60-3600 seconds.
6. Click OK button and reset firefox for changes to take effect.
