Do you have Firefox Sync enabled?

[spachner]

No, I don't.

Hi,

things are getting weird. I tried on a second machine running the very same Firefox version. And: Everything seemed to work. Immediately Floccus said: „All good“ instead of the any error. I also saw bookmarks on the nextcloud. Promising.

Then I tried again on the problematic machine and stuck again with errors but now different ones. I attached a screenshot

The error insists. And changing the Sync folder does not work either anymore. I am able to select a folder as usual, but the entry remains newly created

hmm

regards

@spachner Mh. I can't see the screenshot -- attaching files via email doesn't seem to make them appear in the github comments :) (time for another feature request for the github team!)

[spachner]

Sorry, my fault:

There ist written:

X Error!
Invalid Bookmark: {„guid“:“unified___________“}

Changing the sync folder should work in the latest version (v2.0.5) again.

According to this changeset, the error message means that a folder (specifically the "Unified bookmarks" folder doesn't exist, for some reason). You could try creating a new profile and trying it there.

[spachner]

Hi,

thanks for your effort. The good news are that after installing the new version of floccus the bookmarks are synced to nextcloud! Great.
The bad news are that there is still an error shown in the plug-in (something similar as before like Invalid Bookmark: {„guid“:“menu“}" or similar. I cannot reproduce the error text, since after restarting of Firefox the plugin does not show up anymore. There is only as very small window shown so that nothing can be read.

Hmm

regards

Hi again,

now I started Chrome (current version 65.0.3325.181) and tried to sync back the next could bookmarks. Got these errors:

✘ Error!OptionsSync now

[marcelklehr]

You appear to be trying to sync the root folder between two different browsers. This is not yet possible. See https://github.com/marcelklehr/floccus/issues/69

[thacid]

I join the conversation because i think my issue is related. I have somewhat the same error and the sync work:
Invalid bookmark:
{"guid":"mobile_____"}
In floccus option, choose folder, i have a folder "mobile". I don't find this folder in firefox bookmark.
It's a freshly created profile on Firefox 57.0b12 (64 bits), linux Fedora os. The nextcloud bookmark app is empty. So i think the problem is on firefox side.

[marcelklehr]

@thacid Which folder did you select to sync with floccus?

@marcelklehr, I've got the same issue as @thacid since 2 or 3 days.
However, I don't have a folder named mobile.

• Firefox 59.0.2 (Linux, amd64),
• NextCloud 13.0.0,
• Bookmarks 0.11.0,
• Floccus 2.0.6 (not sure if the error began to be displayed after or before upgrading from 2.0.5),
• synced root folder (/).

Edit:
I might know what could cause that problem. I've migrated from Chrome to FF recently with help of Floccus. In the logs of the latter I can see message: "Remove orphaned folder: //Zakładki z urządzeń przenośnych (Mobile bookmarks - or something like that)" (which is a folder created automatically by Chrome on Android). I didn't have any bookmarks there though.
Firefox won't display that folder anywhere.
I've also had a headache with 'Other bookmarks' from Chrome (as it has different name in Firefox). I couldn't see it in Firefox' bookmarks manager, but the search bar would suggest links from that folder (even though they weren't in the browser history).

Edit 2:
Oh, I think that the described error with Chrome - Firefox migration casued the original error ( Invalid Bookmark: {„guid“:“unified___________“}). The error was replaced with "[...]mobile[...]" after migrating Chrome bookmarks to Firefox via Firefox bookmarks manager and removing all bookmarks from 'Other bookmarks' via the NextCloud.

[thacid]

@marcelklehr The root / like said spachner as in this screenshot in the mozilla addon page.
If i set one account for each directory(Bookmark menu, bookmark toolbar, other bookmark) no more error. Even if i create an account and set sync folder to this mobile hidden directory i don't have any error. I don't know why firefox create this directory, it's weird and useless somehow. And it's a new profile like i said, and empty nextcloud bookmark app, so no migration between chrome or android.

Edit 1:
Okey i get it, the mobile hidden directory is for firefox sync. Even if you don't use it this directory is present in the database places.sqlite, but is hidden.
Is floccus designed to work with the root bookmark directory?

[marcelklehr]

Floccus can function with the root bookmarks directory, but browsers do not allow creation of arbitrary folders in there, so when you sync between browsers of different vendors things go haywire. Hence, #69 is necessary for this to work. I'll add this to the README and descriptions in the extension stores.

[marcelklehr]

I've finally been able to reproduce this and have a fix :tada:

[marcelklehr]

This should be fixed in the latest release :)

[mmalisz]

Works like a charm! Thanks!

[aktentasche]

I have this issue after migrating from Chrome to Firefox, with floccus v3.0.0-beta-1

any workarounds?

Had some issues before with bookmarks disappearing locally and an infinite "Syncing..." so I deleted the nextcloud account and all bookmarks. Maybe create a new firefox profile?

[marcelklehr]

@aktentasche Could you open a new issue for this? Also, in that issue, please also add the sync folder you selected :)
