Yes, we saw that during testing, too. The branch that fixes this
behavior is almost through review. After it's released there are two
ways forward for those suffering from this:

   1) Move aside your bookmarks Couch database (you'll need to make sure
that desktop couch is stopped), and let Bindwood recreate the bookmarks
database from scratch - it will avoid syncing the livemarks if present)

   2) Manually delete the documents from Couch (preferably after
disabling Bindwood temporarily). Another bug that was fixed in the
branch under testing was that new bookmarks created by Firefox were
stamped as coming from the toolbarFolder by default, even if they were
created (say) in the livemarks folder. Then, when Bindwood pulls those
bookmarks and has to recreate them, they'd end up in the toolbar. Not at
all what anyone really wants.

Sorry for the trouble, folks. It's about to get a whole lot better.
