Firefox Bug Warning Error
After deleting a bunch of bookmarks in Firefox, Xmarks warns me about a bug where your bookmark numbers might get reduced on accident. I click "Yes, please synchronize", but then it errors out with an "unknown synchronization error".

Inappropriate?Hey Ben,
I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Can you post the last 20 lines of your logfile? You can do so here:
Xmarks Settings->Advanced->Show Logfile
Thanks,

I'll do this, instead, which might be more informative (near-duplicate lines reduced):

Inappropriate?Hey Ben,
Thanks for posting your logfile. Can you try a manual download? This will overwrite what is currently in your browser with what is on our servers, so be sure to double check my.xmarks.com before performing one.
Xmarks Settings->Advanced->Download
Let me know how that goes.
Thanks,
Nate

Well. That seems to've worked. I did a manual download, then re-deleted all the stuff I wanted to get rid of (I accidentally copied a folder of subfolders several times) and then told it to sync and told it "Yes, please sync". And it just worked. Weird.
Thanks! -
Inappropriate?Hey Ben,
Thanks for the update, let me know if you have any additional questions, let me know!
