Describe the bug

A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Create an Nextcloud bookarms account for Sync tabs with Server folder: /tabs_leia
  2. Click SYNC NOW button on it
  3. Open Nextcloud Bookmarks app and go in tabs_leia folder
  4. Instead of seeing your tabs, there is first a folder with no name, and under it are all tabs (also without names).

Expected behavior

I would expect my tabs would be directly under tabs_leia folder on server

Screenshots

Screenshot_2021-08-06 Bookmarks - Nextcloud

Desktop

  • OS: Debian Buster GNU/Linux
  • Browser: Firefox
  • Browser Version: 78.12.0esr (64-bit)
  • Floccus version: 4.7.0
  • Floccus sync method: Nextcloud bookmarks

Server

  • OS: Debian Buster GNU/Linux
  • Nextcloud version: 20.0.11
  • Bookmarks app version: 4.4.0

Debug log

It is often useful to provide a debug log file along with the issue. You can obtain a debug log of the most recent sync runs by clicking 'Debug log' in the bottom right corner of the floccus panel in your browser.

Note: As your debug log usually contains large parts of your bookmark data, instead of attaching it publicly to the issue here, I recommend uploading it privately at the following URL https://cloud.marcelklehr.de/s/PCi3iLWrzdMZSmw

  • Debug log provided

Additional context

This is additionally the problem if that tabs is then synced elsewhere - while the bookmarks would be visible under bookmark manager in Menu / Bookmarks / Show All Bookmarks, if you instead go to Menu / Bookmarks / your synced folder name firefox would claim it is empty (presumably because it can't handle folders with no name)

perhaps might be related (or not): I have Enable Container Tabs enabled in firefox preferences, although I do not use the functionality (but is required for other extension I use, Cookie Quick Manager)

Whatever the cause, it should either not be there at all (if it is an error), or should have some name if it such folder must be there (for example, if there could be multiple folders - eg. one for each container?) - at least unique numeric id (or whatever) should be used if real name cannot be known.

The reason for this folder is that floccus supports syncing tabs for multiple open windows. There will be a folder for each window. I'll see what I can do.
