Known issues

Listed below are the known issues, by browser/platform, as of the latest release.

For distinction, issues that are caused by xBrowserSync code are logged in the issues list, the issues listed here caused by the browser/platform itself and therefore cannot be resolved until the source issue is addressed.

Firefox

• Selecting multiple bookmarks and deleting, moving or copying and pasting can cause sync issues (such as missing or duplicate bookmarks, bookmarks in the wrong order, etc) Update: as of v1.5.2 these issues have been mitigated, even though the bugs have still not been fixed by Mozilla...
  • bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1556427
  • bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1561874
• xBrowserSync requires permission "Access your data for all websites", this should be optional as per Chrome
  • Fixed as of xBrowserSync v1.6.0 and Firefox v75.
• xBrowserSync does not currently support syncing native bookmark tags or keywords (any existing native tags or keywords will be lost when syncing with xBrowserSync)
  • bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1225916
• Syncing remote changes locally takes a long time if you have many bookmarks
  • bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1533061

All desktop platforms

• xBrowserSync is disabled for Incognito/Private/InPrivate mode as it is not supported (this includes "Never remember history" mode in Firefox). This is because certain required Web Extension API functions (such as runtime.onStartup) do not work in private browsing modes.
• Using native bookmarks manager, selecting multiple bookmarks and moving them to a sibling folder with a higher index causes a sync error and refreshes local data.
  • Fixed as of v1.6.0.
