You can try to change the password for the Sync account to reset all data stored on the sync server.
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database (bookmarks, history) in the Firefox profile folder.

If you use Sync then best is to disconnect Sync (temporarily) while performing maintenance/repair efforts to the places.sqlite database.
