Describe the bug

If you set the local folder to the root folder, the "Mobile bookmarks" folder does not sync between Firefox and Chrome.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Add some mobile bookmarks to Firefox
  2. Set up a new sync XBEL/WebDAV account with the local folder set to the root bookmark folder
  3. Make a fresh sync some Firefox with the new account
  4. Recreate the same account in Chrome
  5. Restore the sync
  6. Notice the "Mobile bookmarks" has not been synced into Chrome

Expected behavior

The Mobile Bookmarks should be copied.

I know i could set this up via https://github.com/marcelklehr/floccus#the-server-path-mapping-folders--profiles, but would be nice if it worked syncing the root folder.

I presume some fiddling in github.com/marcelklehr/floccus@c9d4d8fffc/src/lib/LocalTree.ts (L36-L49) would enable this feature.

  • Floccus version: v.4.5.0
