Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/floccusaddon/floccus/issues/250

Software versions

  • Browser: Firefox and Chrome
  • Nextcloud: 14
  • Nextcloud Bookmarks app: N/A
  • Floccus: 3.2.10
  • Floccus sync method: XBEL/webdav

Steps to reproduce

  1. Created new XBEL in WebDav Account in Firefox Plugin
  2. Filled in login credentials
  3. Filled existing! file on dav
  4. Sync now

Expected outcome

Syncing all bookmarks contained in XEBEL file

Actual outcome

Syncing failed with chrome:newtab/ is not a valid URL. Actually there was a corresponding URL contained in the XBEL file, propably (accidentally) created by a Chrome user however I would have expected that either this URL would not have been saved by floccus or skipped by firefox.

Debug log

onSyncStart: begin
