It's sad, but feed sidebar seems worse with every release.
I installed 3.1.4 but firefox has very high HDD I/O when checking for feed updates, after EACH feed. In my case of 43 feeds, it takes a lot of time and a lot of HDD work to make an update.
Had to revert to 3.1.
Anyway, I was most satisfied with latest 2.x version of feed sidebar, 3.x introduced many problems.
I still use it, but I am forced to stay with 3.1. I was waiting anxiously for an update to remove some bugs, but instead it introduced more :/

Thanks for the awesome extension. Since 3.1.3, though, Firefox hangs really bad whenever Feed Sidebar updates feeds. It has always caused Firefox to hang a bit, but it's much worse now.

I have been using this add-on for about half a year now and I can't imagine life without it! That being said... I have been wondering why there is no way to change the sorting within a feed. Currently it is newest at the top, oldest at the bottom... I would like to see the ability to change that to oldest at the top, newest at the bottom.

Thanks for such a great add-on.

Bjorn: Sorry about that. Version 3.1.4 will be available shortly to fix this problem.

Well, after the update to 3.1.3 the feedbar does not work anymore. I only see this error message:

Reinstalling does not help
