Hi Guys,

Very sorry you're still seeing issues with bookmark syncing. This is  
something we'd like to address it just hasn't happened yet. It was as  
Phillip sort of mentioned out of the scope of our 5.5 release as this  
release was intended for other areas (namely the WebKit update).  
Bookmark syncing is certainly on our list of things to do though.  
We're working on regressions and bugs relating to the WebKit update  
right now but it is something we'll be looking at down the road.

We have an open bug on this problem and if you are seeing issues feel  
free to file a bug report with us and we'll make sure your vote to  
get syncing addressed / improved is added to the list as this helps  
us determine priority. Phillip, Andrew, I've already added your votes.

Thanks!
