BBC - HTML5 Player

Not sure what you mean by BBC News gone? I am using the most recent version of Firefox on Windows 10 and the BBC News website displays perfectly well.

Most searches for BBC show plenty of accessible routes to the news, but none give the list as a drop-down of simple one liner links.

Even the Bookmarks folder has neatly been removed from where it's been for years.

Saab, sorry, I did look at your sites and at my Add ons etc. What I can't seem to do is run a test of Flash player. Odd.

PJD1 I had a bookmark which took me to a BBC dropdown menu that listed world news as one line links. It would mark those read with a highlighted image on the left.

I can get BBC news in all kinds of formats, but I could check 50 or so items for interest with a moment's glance.

I have had to reinstate this before, but I just found it with a google search and bookmarked it. Simple as that.

It's as though that service has been removed, but with it, FF's function of bookmarking it.

This is from a site where people are beset with the same problem. However, I get this far and after that the subject becomes circular.

Ah I think you are referring to live bookmarks and RSS feeds, these have indeed been removed from Firefox, see the article here https://www.ghacks.net/2018/07/25/mo...-from-firefox/

I never used them myself and apparently very few people did.

There are quite a few RSS feed add-ons available for Firefox that might give you the functionality you are looking for https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/fir...=windows&q=rss

That looks like bad news for me. My hearing was severely damaged c 2 years ago and catching news items on FF was a godsend.

I've looked at RSS feeds and just kind of given up. So much time is lost on issues like this. Medical issues have seen my Quora reads take a nosedive and that had promised to be a source of income - much to my surprise.

My wife and I spent teatime discussing early operating systems and word processors. We made a chunk of change making PCs do wonderful things with DOS. Display write 2 is more in my era.

I can see that the facility was a high maintenance issue but I find it hard to believe it wasn't used much. Ho-hum.
