Hi,

places.sqlite may be corrupted. Download the Places Maintenance add-on then follow the steps listed at http://blog.bonardo.net/2011/09/30/is-your-firefor-freezing-at-regular-intervals to rebuild the places.sqlite file.

Most likely this is a Places issue, yes. If you wish you can file a new bug with your Sync error log, and we can take a look.

Thanks!

rnewman,

I was going to edit your reply to include steps on how to do that but I'll just write my own reply.

You can file a bug at bugzilla.mozilla.org to report your issue.
To get the Sync error log, type about:sync-log and copy the text file on the day that you start Firefox Account Sync and add it as attachment to your bug.

Thnx for the quick reply. I will file a new bug at bugzilla tomorrow

The link to the Places Maintenance add-on doesn't seem to be working though. Page down...

Yes, addons.mozilla.org and getpersonas.com are having some server issue. Should be back up soon.

I guess this problem is solved since you are going to file a bug? Please try out the Places Maintenance add-on first before filing a bug. :)

will do, I will marke this as solved once I created the bug report and add the link here so other can maybe benifit...

Great! Please link the bug report here so I can CC myself. :)

Tried the Places Maintenance add-on but it didn't resolve the problem

Here is the link to the bug report:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1007852

Sweet! Bug looks good with the sync log in there. :)

I've CC'd RNewman and myself.

Marking as solved as a bug report is created and rnewman would take it over at the bug report.
