A click on "Reload Live Bookmark" should only close the context menu, not the whole bookmark menu. #360

When right-clicking on a feed, hovering "Livemarks" and then clicking on the "Reload Live Bookmark" button, the feed gets reloaded, but the whole menu is closing.

In the past, when Firefox could still handle feeds by itself, the "reload all" button (that reloaded all feeds, not just one) only closed the context menu, not the whole bookmark menu. Then you could directly see the new items. But with Livemarks you have to re-click through the whole menu again.

The copy or cut buttons, for example, in the same context menu do not close the whole bookmark menu, but only the context menu, so I assume this must be possible for extensions as well.

Any news here?

Nothing we can do here.

Is this a limitiation of the extension API? Because Firefox itself has non-menu-closing context menus, like described in the issue.

Yes there doesn't seem to be a way to specify that the bookmarks menu shouldn't be closed when clicking something on the context menu. We use this API: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/menus/create.
