I'll be sure to post detail next time.

It seemed odd that the IE addon never reported a problem, but Firefox on OS X (10.5.6), Ubuntu 9.04 and Windows XP all had the problem consistently and then it magically cleared.

For some reason, all my machines started successfully sync'ing again a week or so ago with no intervention on my part. That makes me think that there were changes to the server side.

As soon as I found the settings, I turned them all off. They may be nifty, but for me, they serve no utility.

It seems that the IE extension (v0.9.85) is getting more attention than Firefox. Firefox or Flock extension 3.1.0 is problematic, but on my Windows XP machine, Xmarks for IE never generates a failure message.

I've just given up for now on having normal synch on Firefox and manually download periodically to get rid of the red error flag on the icon. After downloading, it syncs for a short while and then begins the silent errors again with "An unknown synchronization error has occurred."

It still retains some utility, but requires manual intervention several times a day across multiple platforms. I'm going to set up my own sync server and see if that changes anything.

Read in another thread that others with similar issues were able to sync by forcing a download from the server. I tried that and all seems well now.
