    Good concept to fill the big gap in cross browser bookmark synchronization, but fails to deliver a reliable solution at this time.

    More often than not, the saving of a single bookmark triggers a catastrophic failure that requires a full reimport of all bookmarks - erasing whatever it was that had just been saved.

    If you're going to try this service out, be sure you've backed up your bookmarks locally through the basic Firefox process first.

    Password requirements are completely unclear. Let me enter whatever password I want.

    The upcoming v1.5.0 resolves all password restrictions!

    Fonctionnement parfaitement sur Chrome et Brave.
    Par contre impossible de synchroniser sur FireFox 64.0.2 installé sur Windows 7.
    Message d'erreur :
    INFO: Sync data: {"type":2,"command":1,"deferred":{"promise":{"$$state":{"status":2,"value":{},"processScheduled":false,"pur":true}}}}

    Bonjour! Je suis désolé mais je ne parle pas français!

    This error is due to a known issue in Firefox when attempting to enable an existing sync ID that contains bookmarks with a URL starting with "chrome://...". Apologies for the inconvenience, it will be fixed for the next release.

    You can track the issue here: https://github.com/xbrowsersync/app/issues/58

    Thank you. Why only bookmarks? They hardly change.. Would love history, passwords and everything else. Also how to delete them?

    Syncing of history and open tabs will come later, passwords in our opinion are better not synced (or if you must store them we recommend KeePass). You can delete your bookmarks using the native browser bookmark tools or in the xBrowserSync window by hovering over search results and clicking on the pen icon that appears on the right to edit the bookmark, then click the Delete button.

    similar one works fine with chrome, but this one has issue with firefox 64.0 on Ubuntu 18.04, the setup page showed and disappeared quickly, no way for me to enter encryption password.

    Hi there, another user with similar issues reported the following fix:

    "I was recently having this issue on my laptop with Ubuntu 18.04, with this extension and bitwarden. after a little digging it seems it was a bug with gnome-shell and password fields. after updating packages and rebooting the problem is gone. sorry I don't have the links handy at the moment but try updating, close firefox and reboot."

    XbrowserSync for Mozilla FireFox is the extension I have been waiting for since the demise of Xmarks. Thanks for developing it!

    Good idea, but in firefox the xbrowsersync menu only quickly blinks when I click and I have no chance of entering an ID to sync with.
