You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file (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.

You can try to disconnect all devices and reconnect them one by one and wait until the initial sync has finished.
Exception: Could not acquire lock. Label: "service.js: sync". No traceback available Sync.Service INFO Cannot start sync: already syncing?
Thank you, I unchecked the "bookmarks" and "History" tabs from the Sync menu within Options, now the error code doesn't pop up anymore but I'm not sure how to find and fix the issues within bookmarks and history. Also I can't bookmark any websites. Any suggestions?
