Hello
I'm currently using Firefox 11 as my computer browser, MIUI (GB version) Stock browser on my EVO 3D phone, and ICS Browser+ on my Transformer Prime tablet, and i've come across a problem.
I can't seem to sync my bookmarks properly.
I've been able to easily sync calendar, contacts, etc with my gmail.com account and such, but I absolutely refuse to use Chrome as my browser just for the sync ability.
So i've come here to ask if anyone has a solution to my problem?
I'd like to be able to sync between all 3 devices if possible (If not possible, at least sync between Firefox 11 on my computer and ICS Browser+ on my tablet?)

Export your bookmarks from Firefox, a HTML file will be created. Try to restore that file using an app like Bookmarks backup&restore
I updated and now my bookmarks on books are gone and lotta apps won't open. It kinda wasn't my choice either. I opened the nt and it told me it was updated.
Hello,
I have a strange problem after my update to 4.1 in my browser. After the update the freeze problem in my browser was gone, unfortunatelly I saw, that it had some problems while loading pictures. Therefore I cleared the cache and all data - as told in this forum to solve the freeze problem (in combination with a cold boot).
After that, all bookmars were deleted (as expected), unfortunately now I have no possibility to get acces to my bookmarks on google. It shows only the section - Local -. Even Saving new bookmarks I can only choose to save them -Local-.
Next step was looking at the Settings for sync - strangely there was no option for syncing the bookmarks. I have the usual contact, calendar, Pisca, mail and so on... but no possibility to sync the bookmarks.
On my Galaxy everything works fine.
When I delete the cahce and all data again, the browser shows a short messsage that it connects to the bookmarks on google (with my account) for about 3-5 seconds- but it does not work.
Does anyone has any idea what to to?
Thank you very much in advance. If there is already a topic regarding this problem, I am sorry, I could not find it.
Regards, Sebastian

Doesn't work on my Galaxy Nexus too. I believe Google drop that feature, since the JB official browser is Chrome, and Chrome sync is working fine.
I also have a Prime and a Gnex. I'm running Bamf JB rom on Gnex and the stock browser has my bookmarks. But the prime does not, same with no option in the sync settings. Why is this gone?
CMarks from the market will restore this functionality :good:.

When you say JB official browser is chrome, do i have to download it from the play store? I find chrome from Google play slower than the stock browser
I have motorola defy running CM10, and I can sync chrome bookmarks using chrome for android. But the app is a bit laggy on defy, so I am using stock android browser and here is a method to sync bookmark between chrome browsers and android browser:
When you go to Android browser it only shows your local bookmarks. Whenever you try to go to settings -> accounts and sync it says that there is a problem in Sync Browser, yet it doesn’t say what exactly the problem is. If you have faced this problem here is the solution you were continuously looking for.
How to Fix Sync Browser Problem in Android?
I identify this problem as a bug when interfacing different Google products. The root cause of problem is Google desktop browser supports encryption for all data types while Android browser supports only for passwords. If you have already encrypted entire data only thing you can do is clear all the data and start it again with only password encryption. Here is how to do it and sync Chrome bookmarks with Android browser.
Go to Google Dashboard confirming your password.
Scroll down to section chrome sync and click on Stop sync and delete data from Google.
This will delete entire synced browser data in Google account and it might take few minutes.
Now open Google chrome, go to Settings.
There you can find sign in section. Click sign in to chrome. Here you will have to generate Application specific password if you have enabled Two Step verification.
Then it will take you to Confirm sync settings window.
Click advance and make sure you have selected encrypt passwords only. If you encrypt all synced data android browser won’t be able to work with them.
Click OK to proceed with syncing.
In your android Smartphone go to Settings -> Apps -> All -> browser and Clear data.
Now go to Settings -> Accounts & sync. You will be able to see Sync browser is working fine now.
Open the browser and go to Bookmarks. Now you can see all the Bookmarks that you have in desktop browser in your Android Smartphone browser as well.

I had this issue before, i did what you said, it worked. Now just few days ago, as i wiped chrome sync/restarted it, the stock browser sync started to fail again.
Problem is i DID NOT select ENCRYPT ALL, only passwords, yet it definitly refuse to sync, no matter how many time i delete/restart sync on chrome, wipe data on android..
I know it's an old post,but... Thank you! This thing bothered me for last week.I didn't do anything,just changed rom from cm10.1 to paranoid and this sh.t happened.

This sync browser solution it's only for Android 4.0 and 4.1 not for gingerbread.
You need to use an special .apk that is men't to do just that. I thinkbit called ChromeBookmarSync.apk or something like that. Just google "AOSP browser without root" and you will fibd it. I can't give you any links becouse im on mobile, but you will find it.

I don't know if this is a KitKat issue or because I restored apps with TB. When I try to add bookmarks using the Bookmarks Widget, There are no bookmarks there. I usually use Desktop Visualizer to add customized shortcuts to the launcher but no bookmarks are showing up there either. This is obviously a system wide issue. The bookmarks show up normally in the stock browser and chrome bookmarks are all showing up. I can add bookmarks directly from chrome or the stock browser but I want to get the system bookmark issue fixed.
Update:
So I thought the Bookmark Widget was a stock feature but it appears that it was added when Chrome was installed. The issue was with Chrome but I'm still not sure why it wasn't working. I cleared Data and Cache then uninstalled Chrome. This deleted all bookmarks and then the problem was that Chrome wouldn't sync bookmarks. Finally after a few sign outs on the phone app and PC it finally started syncing. Now all bookmarks are showing up in the bookmark widget.
