If the kiwi update caused this, this is an issue for the Kiwi devs :/

I've used the export/import feature to bypass this, however it seems I can't get it to sync the root folder between edge and kiwi. A specific folder works without problems

Other sync extensions also seem to have the same problem. In chrome additional folders can be created, and used for sync (example; Bookmarks Toolbar). In Kiwi only a mobile bookmark folder exists, and no root folders can be manually created...only sub folders within mobile bookmarks.

However if you import favourites it creates another folder, so a root folder does indeed exist in some way. It's just bugged

Investigation done. Kiwi requires fixes in:
+++ b/chrome/browser/ui/apps/chrome_app_window_client.cc
+++ a/content/browser/renderer_host/navigation_request.cc
+++ b/extensions/browser/api/app_window/app_window_api.cc
+++ b/extensions/browser/app_window/app_window.cc

Floccus uses a little bit unusual way to open the login window but there is nothing wrong with that (it's correct behaviour from them).
A fix will be issued on Kiwi's side and I'll update on this thread once done.

workaround on Kiwi

the workaround is to login into floccus on a desktop browser (using gdrive option), then export the floccus config, copy the config file to phone, then import the config in floccus. I've tried some month ago and it was working.
