Everything Workes Except for Bookmarks
iPhone 4, 4.01 software. Everything works fine, except it's not synching bookmarks. Anybody else having this problem?

Have you tried thesteps to refresh your data listed here?
How many bookmarks do you have? Right now, Firefox Home is unable to handle users with thousands of bookmarks (there's just too much data) and you may get weird behavior as a result.
i'm having the same problem, even after following the steps in the link posted. history and tabs are syncing fine but my ~100 bookmarks are not.
Yep - same problem here. I ONLY want to sync bookmarks, and so nothing is syncing. I have Firefox 3.66 & iPhone 4 with iOS 4.01.
david: make sure you have Firefox Sync on the desktop set to sync bookmarks. Also, do you have a complex bookmark hierarchy (lots of folders/smart bookmarks) because that may be a bug. If you still can't get it to work, would you feel comfortable sharing your bookmarks file with one of our developers/test engineers?
Mac, if nothing is syncing, you may want to try these steps
Thanks Cww! I had some uppercase characters in my id...I logged back in w/ all lowercase and was able to sync my bookmarks just fine.
cww: i have bookmarks (as well as every other option) checked in the settings menu for home but still no syncing. i'd be happy to share whatever data you all need to help out. i know it's not a huge deal but the idea of syncing bookmarks was really the intriguing part of the app. thanks for the help.
I have exactly the same problem. Tabs and history sync fine, but no bookmarks! I tried the recommended steps to refresh my data on the iphone and fully replaced the data logging in as a "different" user with Firefox 3.6.6 my Mac, but same results. I wouldn't mind sharing my bookmarks file with one of your developers/test engineers if this would help solve the problem. Thanks for help and regards
Update: I wasn't probably patient enough. After waking up this morning everything seems to work fine: both my tabs and all my 462 bookmarks are here :-) I didn't do anything neither on my Mac nor on my iPhone
I had this problem, changed the settings in sync from "sync everything" to custom settings with everything selected and the bookmarks are now sync'ing OK
Same problem here. Everything syncs fine except bookmarks (around 50 of them).
I've tried all the suggested fixes - fully replacing all info, using custom sync settings, logging in and out on the iphone.
My bookmarks are all stored in the 'Bookmarks toolbar' folder on the PC, but I have tried moving some across to the main bookmarks menu and re-syncing, but still get nothing in the bookmarks tab on the phone.
I would be happy to send my bookmarks file to the admins if it would help fix.
