After enabling all options under Settings > Agents and lowering the syncing time under preferences > syncing, both issues seem to have been solved.

Thanks for the very quick response.

Consider this solved.

Hello, FatalError.

You didn't say much about your settings, so we're going to take it from the top.

I presume that you have enabled syncing by somehow getting to the Settings > Agents tab.  If the Agents tab is set to Advanced, switch to Simple.  Then click the Full Syncing button which will switch on four of the five checkboxes.  Switch on the fifth (sorting) checkbox too.

In Settings > Clients, Firefox and Safari should be clients and, for both of them, both the Import and Export checkboxes are on (4 checkmarks).  Finally, the Syncing button in the toolbar should have a green dot in it.

Also, click in the menu: BookMacster > Manage Browser Add-Ons.  Make sure that the Firefox extension is installed and indicates OK when you Test it.  If it does not work, reinstall as shown in this video.

Another significant setting is in Preferences > Syncing, the popup menu at the top gives you a little control over how fast syncing occurs.

To sort and sync manually requires three clicks:

• File > Import from all.
• Bookmarkshelf > Sort All.  If this menu item is disabled that means your bookmarks are already sorted.
• File > Export to all.

sorting not working? auto syncing not working?

Hey Jerry,

BM 2.0.7 on 10.11.2. Sorting is enabled but it seems to not happen. FF 43.0.3 set to import + export in the client section.

  • create new bookmark (in a bookmark folder, should that matter)
  • wait for BM to do the syncing


1. sync to safari?
How fast should the syncing e.g. to Safari happen? Test deleted one bookmark and waited a few minutes with safari open, but the bookmark would not be deleted from safari. From what I can tell there is no extension that needs to be installed for safari.
Manual sync does the trick. So manual sync is the only option here? is that how it's supposed to work?

2. sorting?
a newly created bookmark is not sorted (with syncing having a green dot, indicating auto sync is enabled). it seems it is not synced to safari nor is that new bookmark sorted.
again trying manual sync, but even then the bookmark is not sorted. Sorting settings attached as screenshot.
