Firefox Sync – Fails to Transfer Everything

Update: My conclusions were wrong. The sync workaround doesn’t work. See end.

I’m using Firefox Sync on 3 systems. Recently I added some bookmarks on one of the systems that were not propagated to the other systems.

Gerbil Pet – Arrival

After the mouse ran away, I got a gerbil at Noah’s Arc here in North Bend. They had one that was light brown and white. All the others were speckled black and white. Apparently he/she is about 3 weeks old. We’ll see if he/she grows very much.
