Describe the Bug

Floccus is failing to sync bookmarks from Waterfox; possibly a result of the computer freezing upon resuming from sleep and needing a hard shutdown, though Chrome was also open at that time and isn't displaying the same issues. It's possible that floccus was syncing at the time that was happening if it started immediately (the freeze happened within seconds of startup though). I've tried restarting the browser, computer, updating the extension, forcing a sync, pulling bookmarks, and clearing the cache in the extension. I haven't uninstalled and reinstalled the extension yet, deleted and recreated the profile, or pushed the profile.

The debug logs aren't particularly helpful from what I can see:

2024-02-26T00:19:42.174Z Starting sync process for account Google Drive: bookmark-menu.xbel
2024-02-26T00:19:42.319Z onSyncStart: begin
2024-02-26T00:19:44.607Z onSyncStart: completed
2024-02-26T00:19:44.611Z Syncing failed with An unexpected error occurred
2024-02-26T00:19:44.613Z onSyncFail

At least 4 or 5 other browsers are having no issues accessing the same file. Additionally, two other smaller profiles are syncing fine, though I did notice that the bookmark menu had an extra folder that matched one of the other profiles (the bookmark toolbar).

Expected Behavior

Waterfox syncing the bookmarks menu normally.

To Reproduce

Honestly not sure how to reproduce the error other than possibly deliberately forcing a crash. Debug logs are provided above since they don't contain any private data.

Hello 👋

Thank you for taking the time to open this issue with floccus. I know it's frustrating when software
causes problems. You have made the right choice to come here and open an issue to make sure your problem gets looked at
and if possible solved.
I'm Marcel and I created floccus and have been maintaining it ever since.
I currently work for Nextcloud which leaves me with less time for side projects like this one
than I used to have.
I still try to answer all issues and if possible fix all bugs here, but it sometimes takes a while until I get to it.
Until then, please be patient.
Note also that GitHub is a place where people meet to make software better together. Nobody here is under any obligation
to help you, solve your problems or deliver on any expectations or demands you may have, but if enough people come together we can
collaborate to make this software better. For everyone.
Thus, if you can, you could also have a look at other issues to see whether you can help other people with your knowledge
and experience. If you have coding experience it would also be awesome if you could step up to dive into the code and
try to fix the odd bug yourself. Everyone will be thankful for extra helping hands!
One last word: If you feel, at any point, like you need to vent, this is not the place for it; you can go to the forum,
to twitter or somewhere else. But this is a technical issue tracker, so please make sure to
focus on the tech and keep your opinions to yourself.

I look forward to working with you on this issue
Cheers 💙

I was holding off on doing this in case there was troubleshooting/analysis that might require delving into the issue while it was active, but removing the profile and then adding it back in seems to have resolved the issue. Assuming you don't have enough data based off of what I've provided, this issue can probably be closed. (Or if it is left open and happens again, I'll try to identify commonalities and post.)

Mmh, it might be that waterfox is missing some extensions functionality that floccus v5 now relies on. Generally, I try to support mainline browsers only, while supporting forks on a best effort basis. Can you find out what the equivalent Firefox version would be to Waterfox G6.0.9? (I assume it's based on some Firefox version)

Looks like security fixes are through Firefox ESR 115.8 at least-- I'll see if I can track down a better answer on feature parity. I think it is based on the latest ESR release at any given time though (which should be 115.8, so that tracks). Not putting too much effort into the forks makes sense.

Since you solved it by reinstalling, I'll close this for now.
