Not all bookmarks are syncing

I have many, many bookmark - all the the toolbar folder. Most of them sync, but a few folders won't for some reason. "Sync now" seems to have no effect.

I used to use Xmarks, and Xmarks had a lot more control over syncing. You could force upload (overwrite server) and force download (overwrite local), for one thing - that could often be used to fix sync issues. You could also view your server bookmark list online (via web).

How can I troubleshoot this? Or how can I force a sync?

I called for more help. Is Xmarks still on your system?

We need to look at the sync logs. Type about:sync-log<enter> in the address bar.

Open the last file created and Copy its contents Now Paste it into this forum.

If the file is too large; Open a text / word program and load the file. Left click once. Now <Control> A to highlight everything, then <Control> C to copy it.

Next, have your browser go to; https://pastebin.mozilla.org

Paste <Control> P the content of the file in the window. Note: On the bottom, choose to save the file 30 days.

Now press Send. The page will reload. Copy the new web address, and post it here.

No, I am not using Xmarks - deleted everything, at least I believe I did.

Hi,

We've seen a few issues recently that were possibly caused by the use of Xmarks from a few years back.

The good news is that we've included some fixes in Firefox 61 that should resolve the issues. Firefox 61 is due for release next Tuesday (26th).

I would suggest waiting a few more days for it to come out, and then trying it. I think it should attempt to fix the issues at first start up.

If it doesn't improve everything straight away, try also going to Help -> Troubleshooting Information, and then find the "Places Database" section and selecting "Verify Integrity". It is useful to keep a copy of the output it produces, in case it doesn't solve everything straight away.

Either way, please let us know how it goes, I'm hoping the fixes will be enough.

Hi, Firefox 61 is out now, so you should be able to get it. It will be worth updating on each end of your sync connection.
