Brave Android bookmark widget only displaying Mobile bookmarks

Description of the issue:
I have successfully synced Brave on Windows with Brave on Android. Within both the Windows and Android apps, if I navigate to my bookmarks within the apps, everything appears as expected.

However, when I go to the Android desktop and use the Brave bookmarks widget, I only see a single folder called Mobile bookmarks (which is empty for me). I would expect to see all the bookmarks that I see within the app.

I have tried resetting the Brave Android app, deleting and recreating the widget, deleting the sync account and recreating. I cannot get my bookmarks to show up in the widget.

How can this issue be reproduced?

  1. Sync android with windows, so that bookmarks appear within both apps
  2. Create android bookmark 3x3 widget on the home screen
  3. See what bookmarks are available via the widget. For me, I only see a single folder called Mobile bookmarks, which is empty for me.

Expected result:
I should see all the same bookmarks that I see from within the app.
