==== Synchronization issues ====

**I've made changes in "My CometMarks", but they were not synchronized to my other computers. What's the problem?**

Please make sure that your CometMarks is in working status on your other computer. If you disabled it or did not login your CometMarks account, the synchronization will not be able to work. There are the 2 solutions:
  * Check whether the icon is in bright colour ({{:faq_04.png|}}is known as bright and {{:faq_06.png|}}is known as dark). If not, that means your CometMarks is inactive, right-click the icon to login from "settings" and the synchronization will start.
  * Select "Tools" in menu bar, go to "Add-ons" to check CometMarks' status; and click "enable" if it's disabled.
