Xmarks Stopped Working in Firefox 56

[kevinmanuel]

HI,

Firefox just updated itself to version 56.0, and where my Xmarks add-on was working prior, now it does not. The icon is grayed-out and when I select "Synchronize Now", the little sync window pops up, but nothing happens and it locks up my browser to the point that I have to restart it. I am aware that there is supposed to be some new add-on functionality in Firefox v57+, but that would not appear to be the problem in this case.

Does anyone have any insight into what the issue could be? Even better, anyone know a fix?

Please help.

I did not find the right solution from the internet.

Thanks

Hey kevinmanuel, thanks for posting on the Dropbox Forum on this matter! 

I’m unsure how the behavior you’ve described pertains to your Dropbox account, hence I’m just reaching back out out, so as to check how this affects you in regards to Dropbox. Any detail you could share would be very helpful, so as to determine the case. 

Thanks in advance for your cooperation & I’ll be awaiting your next reply here!

As @Jane alluded to, this won't be a Dropbox issue as Xmarks doesn't use Dropbox to sync.

For the moment, Xmarks works just fine with Firefox 56. I've been using it for months without issues. If you're having a problem synchronizing, you'll need to reach out to Xmarks/LastPass for assistance.

That being said, you might want to prepare for it to stop working soon. The service is being shutdown on May 1st.
