What a week for my phone.
When I attempt to bookmark a site, either immediately or shortly, I get a warning: can not edit bookmarks while syncing.
Everything starts over, and I am back to bookmark,
and the contents of all the folders are showing, out of order.... Just a list

What is it syncing? Or trying to do?

Thank you

Which browser are you using?

I cleared the cache for samsung s browser. Only app reasonably close, in name.

I know what syncing is, what I meant was ... why would bookmarks start a sync (with Samsung account? ), now? I just recently signed into Samsung account. For months, i received a notification, to sign in. I did, about a week ago.
It won't allow me to put all of the installed bookmarks, into a folder, I could before

I am curious if you used Chrome, or any other browser on your android, that you wouldn't see this issue.

I must have been 1/2 asleep! I was using an ipad in here, to talk about bookmark editing/syncing problem with my S4. I said safari browser!

Of course not, on S4 I am using stock Android browser.

I am still having the same problem:
1. Why did this happen:: All of my bookmarks are outside of the folders,

2. If I'm lucky, I might get a site bookmarked before the syncing starts > otherwise the syncing terminates and deletes the bookmark attempt.

Error note: "unable to edit bookmarks while syncing. Try again, after syncing".
