Additional context
It can be "fixed" by selecting a specific local folder. In that case it just hits #443
Legacy sync works fine (as far as one could call that "fine".

Hello @Ornias1993
This is not an error. Browsers do not allow creating arbitrary folders in the absolute root of the bookmarks tree. As the title of the root folders varies across browsers, floccus normalizes their names, as can be observed in the log you posted. Any folders with other names in the root of your bookmarks tree will be ignored, unless you a sync target other than the absolute root folder.

@marcelklehr
Does that explain why it doesn't sync anything at all?

It tries to delete your local folders for some reason, which isn't allowed. Try resetting the cache in the account settings.
