Someone please update the awesome SAGE feed reader to trunk

[Peter Lairo]

The Sage[1] add-on recently stopped working in the trunk nightlies[2].
The feeds are no longer bolded when there are new articles (which forces
one to select and load each feed to see if there's a new article) and
the folders look like bookmarks an cannot be opened/collapsed[3].

I consider Sage by far the best and most efficient feed reader!

Could someone please tweak Sage to again work in the nightly builds?

Yes, I posted it in a bug report[1] for the original Sage, but I think
the author (Peter Andrews) is very inactive and (understandably)
unlikely to fix a bug in a non-release version of Firefox. I also tried
to contact the author of Sage++ (Higmmer) but the web site[2] is in
Japanese (or Chinese?) and the contact form (on the left) didn't seem to
work (some non-English error message). Finally, the author of Sage-Too
(Mike) has unfortunately stopped developing his add-on[3], so I didn't
bother him.

So, I'm hoping someone will take a look at one of those Sage versions
and update it to work with the current Firefox builds.

PS. I had set followup-to to mozilla.dev.amo. Why did your reply land in
mozilla.dev.apps.firefox?

PPS. FU again set to mozilla.dev.amo

FWIW, the original Sage at http://sage.mozdev.org was presented with a
copyright infringement notice by a Spanish company with the same name.
Hence, http://sage.mozdev.org was taken down and the author chose not to
revive it under a new name. Not sure if any of this is related to SageToo,
but I thought it relevant. Looks like one of the main authors of SageToo is
just pissed about selfish users or something (re: link [3] below), although
there could be more to it.
