1353567 - Bookmarks are reordered when syncing between 2 devices

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1353641

(Firefox :: Sync, defect)

Description

[Stefan Fleiter (:sfleiter)]

Attachment: firefox_about_sync.json

I am using Firefox Nightly on my Mac and Firefox Aurora on Android.
A few weeks ago, sorry, but I do not remember when exactly, my bookmarks got "shuffled", bookmark order in folders was lost.

This happens in a repeatable fashion now.

Steps to reproduce:
- Move a bookmark on Mac
- Trigger sync on Mac
- Trigger sync on Android
- Trigger sync on Mac
- Trigger sync on Android

What happens:
- Bookmark jumps back to former position on Mac

Expected:
- Bookmark stays where it was moved

I have installed
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/about-sync/
where validation shows some errors (not only) for bookmarks
Maybe this is related, I have attached the export of that.

I hope this helps to find issues in sync code.
Is there a way to resolve the validation errors locally?
Or should I use about:support and refresh Nightly / Aurora?
