Do you mean that these tabs actually open up as new tabs in your browser, or that the tabs appear in e.g. the "synced tabs" menu or sidebar?

Maybe I didn’t describe this very well. I had three computers synced under my account and everytime I used one of the computers the bookmarks would follow me round. I would then delete the extra bookmarks and synchronize now. About 10 minutes later all the original bookmarks would reappear. I have now disconnected the other two computers and only have one machine logged. I have just deleted all the extra bookmarks and synchronized the one machine. 10 minutes later all the original bookmarks would reappear. It has done that twice so far today and is driving me potty. What is happening and how do I stop it?

I'm very sorry for the delay and for the problem you are having, but it's not something we've seen reported before or know how to explain. Are you still having this problem?
