Inappropriate?Hey Sarang,
I've never heard of this behavior before, and am unable to reproduce. So, if you click on a bookmarked site, Xmarks starts to sync? Or does the Xmarks icon change to displaying a yellow star on our Icon?
Is automatic synchronization enabled? You can check it here:
Firefox->Tools->Xmarks->Xmarks Settings->Sync Tab
Also, if you could post the last 20 or so lines of your logfile, that would be greatly appreciated. You can do so here:
Firefox->Tools->Xmarks->Xmarks Settings->Advanced Tab->Show logfile

Inappropriate?Hey Sarang,
Thanks for the update and logfile. Does this behavior occur if password sync is disabled? Do you have any additional password utilities installed in Firefox? The little yellow star is an indicator that there have been changes made to your bookmarks or passwords, that haven't been synchronized.
Is the yellow star displaying for every website you have a saved password for? Hopefully we can sort this out quickly.
Thanks
EMPLOYEE
