for users of our firefox extension

Last night, we pushed an upgrade to our Firefox extension via addons.mozilla.org. Because we tweaked and improved lots of things, upgrading triggers a full download of your bookmarks from del.icio.us. Normally this process takes seconds and is practically invisible but the load on our servers were much greater than we expected and they melted as a result.

We’ve unmelted the servers so those of you with missing bookmarks in your del.icio.us Bookmarks extension should be seeing them soon, as the issue will resolve itself. If you need immediate access to your bookmarks, go to Tools -> Options in Firefox, click the del.icio.us tab, and click “Sync Now”. Otherwise, our servers and I would appreciate it if you waited, it should take no more than a few minutes for your extension to automatically grab your bookmarks now that we are up again.

Thanks for your patience and sorry about any problems this may have caused.
