Firefox sync getting an error while syncing
I my previous profile was corrupt and not working, so I recently created a new profile and logged it into my sync account. Everything seemed fine at first, but towards the end of the day I started getting the error message at the bottom of the screen that sync was encountering an error while syncing.
Below is some of the error message I am seeing in the log file:

HI flboisseau, It is quite possible that the places.sqlite file has become corrupt. It is possible to try to import the old places.sqlite file however if that one was causing the issue I do not recommend this.

Hi, Thank you for the logs in your question. Currently the two workarounds to solve some errors for Firefox Sync is to remove the account from the profile, make a back up Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles and add it back and the second is to try a new account.
This is not ideal, however it looks like there is a blocked addon that was previously synced that to continue using you may need to turn off syncing addons.
Please post back with your results.
I have already done the first step you mentioned. My profile had gotten corrupt and was no longer accepting new cookies. I deleted that profile and created a new one, which seems to have resolved that problem. After logging into my sync account with the newly created profile, I started getting the error message that it could not sync.
Played around with Sync this morning on the computer with the problem. Started turning things off until Sync worked, then started turning things on until it did not work. Found out that is "history" that is causing the problem. For some reason Sync can not Sync the browser history. What would be the easiest way to resolve that.

Okay, I have just cleared all my history and I am still getting the error. When I have "history" unselected this computer syncs up fine, with it selected I get the error. Is there some additional information that can help narrow down what is causing the problem.
I current sync 3 machines to this account, a Mac, an Android Phone and a Windows 8 PC. Below is the log file as it stands now.

Okay, I have done everything I can think of. I deleted my account and recreated it, with the same results.
Noticed something new today. Right before the sync error, I am getting a message that a script can not be run. When I tell it to stop the script, I get the sync error.
