How frequently does the syncing occur? Takes hours for me.

If I delete or add a bookmark on one of my computers, it takes a few hours before the changes are reflected on my other computer. I have been an X-Marks user. I'm used to the syncing to occur almost instantaneously. Is this not the way Firefox Sync works or do I have some kind of problem?

It does not have a set interval for updates, instead it depends upon a number of factors such as how many devices are being synced, and how much you use Firefox. Typically it will connect about once per hour for most users, for those that use Firefox very heavily it updates more frequently, syncing smaller amounts of data on a regular basis. If there is only one device being synced then the updates will be less frequent.

The add-on is being updated regularly, and the frequency of connections to the server may change.
