User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2; WOW64; rv:26.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/26.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130812030209

Steps to reproduce:

I synced my bookmarks, history, and other things that can be synced in the metro version of Nightly.


Actual results:

History and top sites were there but none of my the ones under my Bookmarks Toolbar folder of desktop version appeared under the bookmarks section.


Expected results:

I thought folders of bookmarks like in desktop version would appear in the metro version. Browsing using this version could be easier if we are allowed to categorize the bookmarks.

Actual results:
Synced bookmarks were available in desktop version Firefox, but not in the Metro Firefox.

I can reproduce this issue, but don't know if it is desired functionality.

We'll need a long term solution to this but for v1 we sync so you have them in autocomplete, but we don't display desktop bookmarks in the metro ui.
