Chrome: "Failed to add bookmark." I am running Google Chrome 56 on Android 4.4.4 and starting today I am no longer able to add bookmarks. Every time that I click the star a nessage pops up that says "Failed to add bookmark.". I do not know what is causing this.

Note that:


I am NOT using syncing, so syncing is not the cause of this problem.
I do not want to use syncing.
I tried rebooting, but that did not fix it.


How do I fix this?
I believe this issue is caused by using the same chrome login for both desktop and Android and adding a bookmark on desktop. That folder is used for subsequent bookmarks but for some reason, the Android app doesn't know where that is. It could be that it saves a booking folder that was deleted. Anyway, here's what I did to fix this issue on Android:

1) Load an existing bookmark.

2) Press the bookmark star. 

3) Change the bookmark's folder to another folder that exists.

4) Change the bookmark back to the original folder.

5) Navigate to the site you were trying to bookmark.

6) Bookmark it. The previously-used folder should now be set correctly.
