Bookmarks Toolbar not syncing

Hello

My bookmarks and plugins seem to be syncing fine, but for some reason, on my desktop machine (Ubuntu 14.04, FF 53.0.3 (64-bit) ) my bookmarks TOOLBAR is blank? It wasn't blank before and is NOT blank on the other machine. I have tried "wiping" FireFox (restore to default and let sync re-sync)), but only my other bookmarks were restored, as well as plugins and search prefs etc.

My Bookmark Toolbar remains blank. It does, however, let me add bookmarks to the toolbar.

My sync today generated two "error-sync" friles - but I don't understand them! I've attached the 2 most recent ones. Thanks!

OK, so I ran sudo apt-get purge firefox then deleted everythin in ~/.mozilla/firefox and reinstalled... then signed into Sync and everything is working fine.

Hardly a fix, but hey...

OK, I tried to upload the error-sync*.txt files but it didn't seem to like them. Is there another way I can submit them? It's a lot of text to dump!
