All within the same Firefox account... Mac OSX Sierra, I always get the pinwheel of death when working with bookmarks, As in dragging a new book barking to a folder… but on my older Samsung PC with Windows 7 there is no lag at all… Is it possible that the Mac is in a constant state of syncing every time I do anything and the PC is not? It has gotten so bad that I'm seriously thinking about going back to Safari on the Mac which would be a real shame. Any input would be warmly received here, thank you

I see you are using a bookmark add-on.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox. A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).

Is the problem still there?
