Is there a Firefox extension that will notify you to when a website has updated? It's easy for websites with an RSS feed, but what about for others?

Hmmmm.... like what you mentioned, using RSS or ATOM is the easiest..... but I could have sworn that there is such a service available online which allows you to keep track of changes at a particular website. Maybe you could do a little serch ard the net n keep us posted????? Hahahahhaa maybe I'll go look around and yet you know later.... provided I can still find this post when I get back!!!! kakakakaka

I do not know of any that would notify you when a website changes. I think the reason for that is with so many websites that have dynamic data, it would become monotonous when you are notified everytime a date changes, or some subtle part of a website changes. Websites owners and website visitors are more apt to utilize syndication feeds on thier sites, you might have heard of RSS, or ATOM links. These are ways for a website to publish when new pertinent information is published. Firefox has built in support for RSS/ATOM feeds with the "Live Bookmark" feature. THere are some options for Internet Explorer as well.
