Sync on Firefox mobile puts my Bookmarks Menu into Unsorted Bookmarks

On my laptop, I have Firefox 3.6.1.2 with Firefox Sync add-on 1.5. I have most of my bookmarks organized into multiple folders inside in the Bookmarks Menu folder.

On my Droid, I have Firefox Mobile 4.0b2 and I have set up sync.

Once I sync Firefox Mobile, and use it to look at bookmarks from my desktop, there's a problem:

The bookmarks from my desktop that should show up organized into subfolders under the Bookmarks Menu, instead are showing up in one long randomly sorted list under Unsorted Bookmarks (which on my laptop is empty).

The only bookmarks section that isn't getting mixed up this way is Bookmarks Toolbar, it is correctly showing the same bookmarks from Bookmarks Toolbar on my laptop.

Thanks for the report. Other users have reported the same problem, but we haven't seen this in our testing.

One person reported that this problem went away by itself, after Firefox Mobile was running and syncing for a while. Can you let us know if you're still seeing this problem after a day or two?

This problem existed with the previous public beta as well, and it never resolved itself over a period of several weeks where I ran Fennec once maybe every few days.

With this new beta, I can't answer the question - it was so slow that I uninstalled it, sorry! (noticeably slower than the previous beta - I have a Moto Droid I with Froyo).

However, if it helps, I have attached a screen shot of my bookmarks bar on my PC so you can get an idea of how many bookmarks I've got and how they're organized (most of my bookmarks folders under Bookmarks Menu contain at least several dozen bookmarks each, and a few also contain subfolders).

I also should note that in Firefox sync prefs on my PC, I am only syncing bookmarks; I'm not syncing anything else (like tabs, history, etc.).
