No, it shouldn't and no, it shouldn't.
Hmm. I have about 50-60 feeds, and it takes about 15 seconds to open Brief..
And about 8 seconds to open a folder which contains all feeds with more than 1000 articles in history.
Is it OK?
Note that the questions I was answering were about Firefox startup, not opening Brief itself.
The time it takes to open Brief is not so much related to the number of feeds as to the number of stored entries. The stats you're giving are pretty bad, I haven't seen it taking that long. For me Brief sometimes opens and displays feeds in a blink of an eye and sometimes takes a couple of seconds. This is probably caused by the fact that the database is partially cached in RAM. If the cache isn't filled at the moment, the performance is worse.

I checked The error console before making the change you suggested and there were no messages of any description. I then made the change, opened brief and checked the error console, it had three info messages.

I'm not sure that's going to help much, but that's all there was.
Thanks for the effort. Unfortunately, none of these errors is related. I am afraid I can do nothing to help, since I've got clues where to start.

I will add labels telling which feed each entry belongs to. If it's not enough you'll be better off clicking individual feeds. I don't want to add options concerning the sort order, it would a step towards making Brief more heavy-weight than I intend it to be.
Another problem is the "auto make item as read" function. Clicking on an unread item will make the page reload itself to reflect the change and reappear from the very first line, then I must scroll down several times to find out the position I was reading before.
I know it's a pain. I'll try to fix it, although it's non-trivial, so I can't promise anything.

This one is weird. When I first installed this, I didn't get anything from the feeds, just blank boxes. Disabled Noscript and it worked.
Now I have some feeds that have been updated and it seems to work without allowing noscript globally.
Since installing this, a new version of noscript came out. So I don't really know about it now.
See Developer Comments on AMO - you don't need to allow scripts globally, just add file:// to whitelist.
If clicking on unread and then using search, "mark currently viewed entries as read" marks everything read. Same thing happens when there are multiple pages.
The former is a bug, thanks for reporting. The latter is by design.
If I restart FF, it updates the lists (which is what it's supposed to do). When clicking on the 'Update Feeds Now' status icon or right-clicking on a feed and choosing Update Feed, it doesn't update.
At all, ever? Are there any errors in the Error Console?
Thanks to everyone for comments and praises!
