I'm not so certain about your dx. IE 7 seems to be showing the '&' and other characters in folder names and has the '|' left out of bookmarks that included them.

In any case, I turned the add in to 'disabled' in IE to see if the problem stops or persists...

Do you think this answers the question? Mark it as answered

XMarks multiple computer synchronization and mangled bookmarks/folders
I have xMarks on 4 computers (2 XP, 2 Vista). On three systems the only browser is Firefox 3, on one it is Firefox 3 & IE7.

Bookmark folders with the '&' character are getting duplicated with the new folder having the same name but the ampersand is replaced by and '& amp ;' (without the spaces)

Bookmarks with a '|' get duplicated with the vertical bar replaced by '_'

Several other graphic characters are also getting changed and the bookmarks essentially replicated.

I think this happened when I added xmarks to IE7.

Any suggestions?
