Yeah, it *wasn't* a one time occurrence -- it keeps messing the sorting
of the bookmarks. I had to turn off Sync for Firefox Beta. Too bad,
overall the new browser is much faster than the old one, but I guess
I'll have to keep both for the time being: the old version (which syncs
correctly) to use whenever I want to access one of my desktop bookmarks,
and the new one for stuff that doesn't nee them.

I'll have to check at Bugzilla, but I expect I'm not the first to notice
this issue.
