Stream Live News is a subscription-based extension for Firefox that allows users to access the latest live and breaking news. This extension integrates seamlessly with Yahoo Web Search, offering a user-friendly interface where users can click the extension icon to view streaming news updates. The top stories are refreshed every hour, ensuring that users are always informed about current events. Additionally, the extension provides access to various live breaking news channels, enhancing the user's news consumption experience.

The extension collects anonymous technical information, such as install date and user agent details, to improve the product and assist with troubleshooting and fraud detection. This data collection is crucial for maintaining the functionality of the extension, although it does not allow for personal identification of users. Users have the option to decline data collection, but doing so may affect the ability to debug certain versions of Firefox against the extension.
