Just downloaded and installed FFSync on my BB PB – have entered all the porper data on the Settings screen. Problem is nothing is happening – just the “Busy Dial” is spinning.
Is this a wireless sync app or do I need to connect ot the laptop via USB for the first sync ot occur?
Still no luck. I have even re-booted the PB to see if that helps. No change – still hangs on the submittal of the User sign-on information on the Settings screen.
Also, I even upgraded to the newest OS and no change on that either. The BB PB is now on OS Ver 2.0.1.358.
What do you consider a “lot of bookmarks” – I would guess that I have between 80 and 100 at max. In any case, I cannot get past the sign-on step – the sync screen never appears.
I have re-tried to sync and had the same endless result. I input the sign-on information – pressed the Connect button and watched the progress dial “spin” for the next 90 plus minutes. I finally aborted the effort and never did get the listing of the FF bookmarks.
Was 90 minutes long enough or should I wait for 120 minutes?
I am using Xmarks for bookmarks syncing, not Firefox Sync.
Is FFSync still useful for me?
Thanks,
Zoran
Sorry Zoran, I’m only supporting Firefox Sync, Xmarks does not have a public api.
Many of the bookmarks are duplicated a number of times. Is there any way I can remove duplicates please?
@Don,
It’s very strange.
Do you have them in different folders on your bookmarks on Firefox? IT’s the only way I can think to have duplicates.

@Mark H,
It works over wifi.
Is your problem at settings screen or at bookmarks screen? I mean, is it authenticating or syncing?
I am frozen on the Log-in screen in the Setting tab. I place all the correct information and it freezes. I do not get to the Bookmark tab at all.
I am running the BB PB OS 2.0 if that helps

Any suggestions?
Have not heard anything back yet to help resolve my problem. Do you have any suggestions?
Is there a setting I missed or is there something else I need to try?
Still not working – do you have any help you can offer?
Mark,
Might it be that you have lots of bookmarks?

Mark,
Sorry but there is nothing I can do without testing your credentials.
There must be something strange, an uncontrolled exception or something like that that prevents the process to work, it should be inmediate.
What is your E-mail Address and I will send you the sign-on information? With that you can test the process from your end.
