Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When you open the browser, the floccus extension immediately starts syncing. In the event that you already are aware that there is an issue with the xbel file or corrupted bookmarks on the server, this action propagates the corrupted data to the local browser you just opened. You have to cancel sync manually and by that time some bookmarks may have been deleted/changed (too late).

Describe the solution you'd like
Add a delay of n seconds to the initial sync when the browser opens and the extension loads, configurable would be nice but not mandatory, to give the user time to disable the extension and change the settings to overwrite the server (this use case) to restore the bookmarks from the local copy and fix the server copy.

Perhaps two new buttons to appear while it is not syncing;
one to sync now and overwrite local (pull)
another to sync now and overwrite remote (push).
It would save having to change settings back and forth each time there is a sync issue.
