Trying to sync my home and my work bookmarks.

Started at home but those are the ones I want to overwrite; I want the work ones to be the master set. When I realized I couldn't select which computer had the dominant set, I stopped and waited until I was at work.

Today, at work, I started again. Now the set on my work machine has been overwritten with the ones from home that I didn't want.

When I follow the "restore from backup procedure" the browser hangs up and I have to force quit Firefox.

If I can export an earlier backup, maybe I can import it and overwrite what's currently in place, unless you can suggest a way to keep Firefox from hanging every time.

thanks,

Marcus

Did you try to wait a bit longer to see if the restore finishes?

How many bookmarks show as present in the name of the JSON backup?

  • bookmarks-YYYY-MM-DD_<item-count>_<hash>.jsonlz4

How long would you expect? I left it for 20 minutes and it was still spinning pizza when I came back.

There 1039 items in the bookmarks

It worked. I left it and went away for a while longer.

Thanks for your help.

You're welcome.

Over 20 minutes sounds like a rather long time.

How many bookmarks are in the backup according to its name?

  • bookmarks-YYYY-MM-DD_<item-count>_<hash>.jsonlz4
