How can I shorten the process of updating the feed entries?

Is nobody "at home" at the moment (smile-smile)?

The options are not user-exposed, but you can play with them from the Brief tab debug console. The defaults are

Prefs.set("update.defaultFetchDelay", 2000);
Prefs.set("update.backgroundFetchDelay", 4000);

where the time is in milliseconds. Note that setting it too low may make Firefox much less responsive while updating the feeds.

What means "update.defaultFetchDelay" an what "update.backgroundFetchDelay"?

The "background" one is for an update Brief does itself, while the "default" is used after you tell it to update the feeds.

How exactly do I get to the debug console?

Open Developer Tools (F12) -> Console

Hello tanriol,

I hope this issue has not yet been lost.

Could you please explain to me step by step where exactly I can find this setting? Cause I can't find her.

Thank you very much Gerhard

In the meantime I found the settings. But I can't change them, so I can't play with them.

How can I do this?
