by Firefox user 15907683, 5 years agoThis is a great add-on that I've used for a long time with no adverse issues. It's also an add-on that I really like.
However, it has developed a sudden glitch. It will throw out a brief message that is on screen for only a fraction of a second that reads as follows: "BSP2 detected a desynchronization and is reloading bookmarks from FF API. Please wait..."
This happens as soon as I type in any of the following four letters: "a", "g", "s" and "t". It will not display any results for those four letters.
All other letters and numbers work fine. Have uninstalled and reinstalled BSP2. Have restarted FF several times but no luck so far. No idea where to turn to get this resolved.
Update: developer answered quickly (thanks!) and also found the problem which will be resolved in the next update. See his reply to this message. Thank you!

Developer response
posted 5 years agoHello, yes I also fell on that recentlyl, it seems the behavior of FF bookmark search API changed a bit and is now returning two special folders I was not seeing before, and which are not expected (namely the "Tags" special folder ... but also the Mobile bookmarks special folder even when it is empty).
Since they are not expected, BSP2 believes there is a de-synchronization with the FF DB of bookmarks, and attempts a reload.
This is corrected in 2.0.76 which will be out soon ... I filtered out those two items when appropriate from the search result gotten from FF API.
Thanks aaFn.
====================== Update ===================
2.0.76 is out now with the fix for extended search responses.
Should be all ok now, sorry for the inconvenience, aaFn.
