  1. Bookmarks online: 124792
  2.  
  3. Speed Dial: 3096 Items
  4. ...............
  5. but in backups for bookmarks: it shows 42505
  6.  
  7. backups for speed dial: 3021
  8. ============
  9.  
  10. these items do not match !!!!
  11.  
  12. it auto backs up despite that I have auto-backup disabled:
  13. but it shows for today alone:
  14. 6/20/2018 = 21 backups
  15.  
  16. within today it lost over 50 dials.
  17.  
  18. I cleaned up a bit and deleted about 6 or 7 dials today - but definitely not so many as the discrepancy shows
  19.  
  20. Bookmarks also : I chose download and overwrite local =
  21. it never finishes, let it sit for more than 6 hours, nothing just spinning.
  22.  
  23. So, I would not be surprised if there are many lost now.
  24. ===================
  25.  
  26. I do not dare now to backup dials manually since there too it is not a match.
  27. Am nearly sure that the figures I get when selecting "Account"
  28. are far more the real value.
  29.  
  30. But there is also probably a BUG:
  31. if I go to Eversync, it gives me several empty folders:
  32. none of my folders are empty !
  33.  
  34. this is really scary !
  35.  
  36. for example, if you look at the first folder "Wellfleet" - there are 32 dials in that folder and those dials all show correct in the browser in Speed Dial.
  37.  
  38. So my question: what is the real thing?
  39.  
  40. I'd appreciate some input from you at your convenience.
  41.  
  42. I will not make any backup of the Bookmarks, because it is the wrong figure showing in backups.
  43.  
  44. In Speed Dial, I restored the last good version.
  45.  
  46. I am not comfortable right now to do either: backup or restore anything until I know what is happening.
  47.  
  48. Since speed dial in eversync declares 7 folders as empty - but they are definitely not empty in my browser:
  49. firefox 60.0.2
  50.  
  51. My reason for looking in to this now:
  52. I need to delete "double bookmarks"
  53. but manually this would not be possible with that many bookmarks of 124792.
  54.  
  55. It will reduce by more than half, because at last update of FF to 60.0.2, it automatically "imported bookmarks" and sure enought doubled most of them, some are even tripled by now.
  56.  
  57. I have a clear view when I use the build-in firefox bookmarks library, but it is next to impossible to handlethat manually.
  58.  
  59. So, I went to FVD, and encounter such differences, that I would not even attempt anything right now until it is clear to me.
  60.  
  61. The listing in Eversync is different than it is in the actual browser window - just all extremely confusing.
  62.  
  63. I also now do not dare to sync with my laptop or any other browser, like Opera and Chrome, I am also using.
  64.  
  65. I have FVD installed on Opera - but now will wait until I attempt to create new bookmarks in Opera, because it seems, despite of "syncing" it actually does whatever it wants to, because not even the same arrangements of the Groups are the same there.
  66.  
  67. What does one need to do, to have everything "identical" between at least firefox and Opera?
  68.  
  69. Because it does not even reflect in eversync, the correct data from within firefox:
  70.  
  71. I had restored the speed dials to what they were early today - before dial numbers were reduced by obvious auto backup [which was not checked ever to begin with]
  72.  
  73. now in eversync speedl dial section it declares 69 groups and 3021 dials -
  74.  
  75. which is incorrect:
  76. it is an actual 3252 dials in 75 groups
  77.  
  78. On the Bookmarks, you can recognize different activities on certain dyas the last 2 weeks, simply because I am trying to clean up properly. I have manually deleted a lot of old bookmaks that I no longer need - but this is too much to do manually.
  79.  
  80. But before I use a script or extension that automatically produces duplicates [accurate] for me, I am staying away from making any further attempts in Firefox.
  81.  
  82. Once this is the clean and very streamlined, then I will delete everything [bookmarks and dials] in Opera, and allow Opera to import the proper FVD speed dials and bookmarks.
  83.  
  84. It became such a mess due to Xmarks closing down, which I had used since their beginnings many years ago.
  85.  
  86.  
  87. As you can see, I am by now using 75 groups - that shows why I had once asked if sub-categories would ever be possible.
  88. I gues now not anymore with Quantum for sure.
  89. Firfox itself is not overly eager to listen to the users feedbacks.
  90. .........................
  91. Thank you.
  92. Regards,
  93. Michele
