Great add-on, but I have a bug to report:

When I click on a specific feed group, a green progress bar appears next to the "history" icon and gets stuck at about 80%. Subsequently NewsFox does not list the articles within that group but tells me to wait until loading has finished.

I figured it must be due to some broken feed in that group, but shouldn't there be timeouts to prevent that behaviour?

Update: Following feeds have since started causing the behaviour I described:
http://thefloorisnowlava.net/rss.php
http://what-if.xkcd.com/feed.atom
http://www.loadingartist.com/feed/

Maybe there's been an update to the RSS code these websites use that NewsFox can't deal with?
