On none of my 3 computers sync is working for more than a week now. Resetting sync (Replace all other devices with.... ) won't work either. Please advice me what to do.

Try to uninstall (unlink this device) and setup sync again.

Is there anything unusual reported in the Sync log (about:sync-log)?

Try to create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

See "Creating a profile":

If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

please also make sure that the system's date & time is set correctly on all devices...

I've tried reset firefox, reset password, change key, unlink, relink, etc. NONE of these work, and always comes with weird script timeout...

Eventually, everything back to normal when I try again some other night. I strongly believe that the problem is not from my site.

yes, you're right - i've learned that there where server issues which have been resolved now.
