You have a bookmark with a malformed URI.

If you go to about:config, change the value of 

  services.sync.log.logger.engine.bookmarks

to 

  Trace

Relaunch Firefox, run a sync, and attach about:sync-log to this bug again. That will allow us to see which record is causing the problem.

Thanks!

Chris, did you set to trace level *and* restart Firefox before syncing again? I don't see any trace messages in that log.

I did set services.sync.log.logger.engine.bookmarks to trace and shut down firefox and restarted.

I double clicked services.sync.log.logger.engine.bookmarks and changed the value to trace ... is that correct?

I think I have fixed it ... I have un ticked all the items to sync (bookmarks, tabs, history, etc) then synced then re ticked every thing and synced again .... 

So far no error...

It must be Trace (capital T).

It is, but unfortunately the log roller kicked in after printing what we're looking for. Would you mind doing another sync and posting the contents of

  about:sync-log.1

? Sorry to be a pain. Many of the features that would make debugging or resolving this easier (disabling log rolling, skipping over bad records...) aren't available in Sync 1.6.3.

(If you switch to Firefox 4 beta, you should see sync complete even with the error, and there's an easy way to find out which record failed.)

Thanks!

Here's a modern failure:

I hit this recently. Problem went away after about 12 hours.

rnewman had me run the following from the web console after loading a chrome page such as about:config

Components.utils.import("resource://services-sync/engines.js");
Components.utils.import("resource://gre/modules/PlacesUtils.jsm");
let bme = Engines.get("bookmarks");
let bms = bme._store;
let ids = bms.getAllIDs();
for (let id of Object.keys(ids)) {
  let i = bms.idForGUID(id);
  try {
    if (PlacesUtils.bookmarks.getItemType(i) == PlacesUtils.bookmarks.TYPE_BOOKMARK) {
      PlacesUtils.bookmarks.getBookmarkURI(i);
    }

no ID * failed: messages were shown.
