I am trying to sync bookmarks between firefox 3.6.10 on Windows and firefox 3.6.9 on Linux. I have firefox sync plugin installed on both machines and connected with same account. If I add bookmark in Firefox in Windows, I am not able to see it in Firefox in Linux. I even tried disconnecting and connecting back and then clicking on 'sync now' buttons in both browsers but nothing works.

I checked the sync logs i Linux and it showed the error - 2010-10-14 16:02:08 Engine.Bookmarks WARN Error creating record: Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [IWeaveCrypto.unwrapSymmetricKey] Stack trace: CryptoMeta_getKey()@crypto.js:158 < CryptoWrapper_encrypt()@crypto.js:70 < SyncEngine__uploadOutgoing()@engines.js:692 < anonymous()@engines.js:196 < SyncEngine__sync()@engines.js:753 < wrappedSync()@util.js:136 < <file:unknown> < batchedSync()@util.js:142 < anonymous()@engines.js:196 < WrappedNotify()@util.js:115 < Engine_sync()@engines.js:206 < WeaveSvc__syncEngine()@service.js:1559 < anonymous()@service.js:1455 < WrappedNotify()@util.js:115 < WrappedLock()@util.js:87 < WrappedCatch()@util.js:66 < sync()@service.js:1332 < anonymous()@sync.js:380

The error was shown multiple times. No such error was displayed in sync logs in Windows.

So wht's happening here and how can I sync the bookmarks?

Which version of the Firefox Sync extension do you have installed in each Firefox Profile?

You need Firefox Sync 1.5 .
