An annoyance. I recently decided to give a try to the new native-UI beta version of Firefox for Android. (By the way, yes, it IS very very fast, and it looks very nice...)
Since all my bookmarks are in Sync, being shared between Seamonkey, desktop Firefox, portable Seamonkey and the old XUL-interface Android Firefox, I added this new one to Sync... Apparently the bookmarks engine in the new Portable Firefox has some bugs. First, it sorted all my bookmarks alphabetically. That wouldn't have been TOO bad, most of them are sorted anyway. But... ...it doesn't seem to consider separator boundaries when sorting. For instance, I have a bookmark folder with the links for several webcomics. They are separated thematically; computer/geek strips in one group, general-interest strips in another... if I tell desktop Firefox/Seamonkey to sort the folder, it treats each group as a separate sorting domain, and sorts the bookmars *inside* the group without mixing the group. The new Mobile Firefox did something very weird: it apparently ignored the separators for sorting purposes, but left them in place anyway. So if I had a list like this (female names in a group, male names in another group): Alice Eve Mallory Peggy | Bob Charlie Dave Trent Walter It would sort the folder like this: Alice Bob Charlie Dave | Eve Mallory Peggy Trent Walter ...keeping the separator between the fourth and fifth bookmarks. Which does not help at all, of course. I have been fixing my bookmarks list by hand... I just hope this is a first-sync issue only, and it won't mess everything again next time I use Mobile Firefox. -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.
