Don't refresh upon opening bookmark
Add-on version 2.8
Describe the bug As soon as one item in a feed is opened, the entire feed is instantly refreshed. This is bad UX, as the list the user was just looking at gets reordered, or things the user was just about to open disappear (which happens around 3x daily to me)
To Reproduce Repro:
- Click on any item in a feed
- Watch as it gets refreshed
Thanks!
Mhm, you are right. Clicking an item would relatively soon trigger the historyOnVisited callback. This will trigger an update for all the livemarks in that containing folder. The idea here was for people that use the read indicator we want to update that relatively quickly.
This is still frequently happening. It probably isn't evident if you just left-click items. But middle-clicking with the intention of opening multiple links makes you run into this issue frequently.
The consequence is that you often open the wrong link, or need to re-acquire the link you were about to open, or need to deal with links that have disappeared from the feed. This is especially evident with fast-updating feeds, such as Hacker News.
