Sync error 0x804b000a (NS_ERROR_MALFORMED_URI)

for a while now, Sync doesn't work. The sync log contains these exceptions (see below). I have tried resetting Firefox but that didn't help. I would like to only sync bookmarks and passwords so problematic add-ons shouldn't be a problem. I have even installed a sqlite manager add-on and it didn't find any problems with places.sqlite. What can I do now? -Michael

Hi, Thank you for your question, I understand that Firefox Syncs is giving a malformed uri error, however finding the url that might becausing this might be helpful: Please make a back up of your bookmarks before using this:

You have some kind of corrupt bookmarks entry that's throwing an error while Sync is working.

"You have some kind of corrupt bookmarks entry that's throwing an error while Sync is working" - I also thought that this might be a reason but how can I find it, with thousands of bookmarks? the places.sqlite file doesn't seem to be corrupt

Did you try to delete the places.sqlite file and let Firefox create a new file?
