[BMSYNC-USERS] Firefox 0.8 not being synced
|

Maybe you're right - the server side seems to be working now anyway! Further to my last email, I was slightly mistaken - and now I'm not sure what's going on. When I first ran the client, it uploaded bookmarks from both firefox 0.8 & IE6 & merged them on the server. When I then checked IE6, that had received the merged bookmarks back. However firefox was still displaying only it's own bookmarks. A bit later I checked both browsers again, and now both of them only had the firefox favourites. I assume that this was because the next time it synced, it saw the firefox favourites & thought I'd deleted some - it therefore deleted them off the server & IE then got the reduced version. At this point it therefore looks as though the issue is that firefox is not receiving the merged bookmarks from the server. However, just to complicate matters I had a look at the xml files in my client directory. These seem to contain the merged bookmarks in their entirety!!! So what's going on - why is firefox 0.8 not receiving the merged bookmarks from the server when IE is, and why after another round of syncing do the xml files contain the merged bookmarks but both browsers just have the original firefox favouroites!!
