After setting up a new machine and connecting to my Firefox account, it seems my bookmarks are not being sync from my other machines. Here are the last lines of Firefox Sync log -- any ideas?

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file (bookmarks, history) in the Firefox profile folder.

If the Places Maintenance extension can't repair the places.sqlite database file then remove all places.sqlite file(s) in the Firefox profile folder to make Firefox rebuild the places.sqlite database file from the most recent JSON backup in the bookmarkbackups folder.
