If you have sync, and there is a problem anywhere, Shut Down Sync Immediately On All Devices to prevent the problem from spreading. Once the problem is fixed, perform the same repair on all computers/profiles before using sync again.


The other members of the sync, do they have the problem?

Good, no problems with the bookmarks. Now set up the bookmarks the way you want.

Wait a few days. Any problems?
