648410 - Service.Main DEBUG bookmarks failed: Component returned failure code: 0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE) [nsINavHistoryService.executeQuery]

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Sync, defect)

Attachment: about:sync-log showing error stack

Someone I know is having problems getting Sync to work for her. Every time she tries to sync her bookmarks, she gets the following notification popping up:
Sync encountered an error while syncing: Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action.

I had her enable the sync debug logging stuff, and she sent me the about:sync-log contents. I'll attach it to the bug.

We've tracked it down to a problem with Bookmark syncing (in that, if she disables bookmark syncing, Sync works with no errors).

I'm guessing she has some badly formed bookmark somewhere that's confusing Sync (unexpected symbols or characters, maybe?), but haven't been able to talk with her to look through all of her bookmarks.

Same as the rtf, but not an rtf file.

I have the same problem on x86 Windows Vista with Firefox 5.0, but my Stack trace looks a bit different

Still happening, anyone?

I think the person who reported this with me last year stopped using Firefox for unrelated reasons, so I don't know if it's still happening for her.

Moving the needinfo over to the other person in this bug.
