Problem with Sync
I'm having a problem with Sync for about two weeks.
Syncs keeps always syncing, but it's not working. I seems to be stuck syncing my bookmarks. I usually sync passwords, history and bookmarks. I tried syncing alone history: no problems, the same with passwords: no problem, but when I do the same with bookmarks, it never ends. I also noticed that, when sync gets stuck (always the blue arrows rotating), firefox history stop working, because visited links does not show as visited, and I have to restart firefox and then all links looks like visited (different color).
So, is there any way to check what's going on? Maybe it's just one bookmark with a rare name or someshing, but I don't know how to check it. Is there any log file?
I also deleted my account, created it again and problem persists.

So, Your Bookmark file is corrupted
Export your Bookmark as .json files
- Bookmark > Show All Bookmarks > Export
Now goto profile and Delete or Rename the places.sqlite, Before Deleting the file, QUIT/EXIT your Firefox, Next time the places.sqlite will be created automatically.
- Profile Folder - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
- https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-firefox-stores-user-data
Now Import your Bookmarks and SYNC it
I did exactly what you told me, but nothing seems to change. Once deleted places.sqlite, my bookmarks are atill there when I run again firefox, I only lost all favicons. Then, import my json file, enable bookmarks sync in Firefox, click sync icon and it keeps again syncing forever :(
