Comment 2 for bug 443121

Anton,

Thanks for taking the time to file a bug. We've added some diagnostic debugging that can be enabled if FF is run with BINDWOOD_DEBUG in the process' environment. The easiest way is to run from the terminal (like you tried):

  $ BINDWOOD_DEBUG=1 firefox &

This will output a lot of debugging messages to the error console. The default FF error console only allows you to copy one message at a time, so you could install the Console2 extension ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1815 ) to enable copying multiple lines.

Bindwood iterates over all your bookmarks, pushing each to your desktop couchdb (after first checking that it's not already present in the db). During testing and development, it's likely that we didn't provide our own instances with enough bookmark data to really stress test the setup. Off hand, do you have an idea of the number of bookmarks you have?

In the future, Bindwood will do a much better job after the first run, of keeping its network traffic to a bare minimum. As it stands now, it's a little too chatty.
