But, thankfully, you can have almost the same thing with Livemarks extension.

Don't forget Mozilla removing Live Bookmarks (RSS feeds showed up directly in your bookmarks menu) and RSS feed subscriptions in Firefox 64.

I used Gopher to download MPEG-1 videos back in 1993. Whole two of them. One was egg shot by a bullet and second one was Michael Jackson's Smooth criminal anti-gravity lean clip. Exciting times.
