Why aren't my Firefox bookmarks syncing? I have Bindwood installed.

Firefox bookmarks will currently only sync for Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick) users. Check our status page for updates on when bookmarks and contacts sync for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS is re-enabled.

If you are on Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick) or higher, please make sure you have the latest updates. If you have the latest updates installed and bookmarks still aren't syncing, then you can try these steps:

  1. Open System->Preferences->Passwords and Encryption Keys

  2. Right-click on any "Desktopcouch" entries and select "Delete"
  3. Open Applications->Accessories->Terminal and run:

  killall beam.smp beam
  rm ~/.config/desktop-couch/desktop-couchdb.ini
  dbus-send --session --dest=org.desktopcouch.CouchDB --print-reply --type=method_call / org.desktopcouch.CouchDB.getPort 

You'll need to wait about ten minutes for syncing to complete.
