my firefox in my computer doesn't sync the bookmarks, and I typed :about:sync-log and I opened the last file: error-sync-1540522066731.txt

it shows:

You posted a Firefox/62.0.3 log as I see that Firefox version in the log you posted. You appear to have already updated to the current release Firefox 63.0, so you seem to have posted an older Sync log.

If you use Sync then best is to disconnect Sync temporarily during troubleshooting.

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database (bookmarks and history) in the Firefox profile folder.

  • use "Verify Integrity" on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page
    in case errors are reported close and restart Firefox and retry

See also:

If "Verify Integrity" on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page cannot repair places.sqlite then remove all places.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder. Firefox will rebuild places.sqlite and restore the bookmarks from a recent JSON backup in the bookmarkbackups folder.

You can use the button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page.
