413 Request Entity Too Large (history)
I started getting a sync error that wouldn't go away. When I looked at the log I saw a bunch of post errors. So the first thing I tried was to blow everything out since I was using the old sync. I then setup the new sync but I still had an error. Only this time it was only one post failure and History was specifically the problem:
1412870549016 Sync.Collection DEBUG POST Length: 2152216 1412870551015 Sync.Collection DEBUG mesg: POST fail 413 https://sync-141-us-west-2.sync.services.mozilla.com/1.5/10221627/storage/history 1412870551015 Sync.Collection DEBUG POST fail 413 https://sync-141-us-west-2.sync.services.mozilla.com/1.5/10221627/storage/history 1412870551015 Sync.Engine.History DEBUG Uploading records failed: 413 Request Entity Too Large
If I turn off history then all is well and it syncs fine. But of course now I can't sync my history. Any ideas on how to fix this? Am I stuck having to blow out my history?

So anyway....went ahead and blew out the history cache. I guess it'll just keep on happening as the history gets too large and there's no real fix for this.

Hi JEmlay, How big is your places.sqlite file in your profile folder? Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data
340MB
How many history items do you have if you type a colon in the search bar in the History Manager (Library)?
I just ran Places Maintenance v1.3 and that made it 348MB. Oops...
Where does it show a total count? If I try to highlight them all to get account FF just crashes.
After a few tries I was able to catch it saying 89,296. Then a message popped up saying:
