For over two weeks, Firefox sync fails. The message at the bottom of window says "There was an error during synchronization: Unknown error. Action will be automatically repeated." I use Firefox 34.0.5 on Linux. Log says: http://paste.fedoraproject.org/160588/26797141/ Any idea what could be wrong?

hello vo_z, the log shows that the issue is occurring particularly during syncing your history - can you try to exempt it from being synced in the sync-preferences and see if the error bar is still showing up...

Hello, thank You for such a quick answer! I unchecked the history. Error bas disappeared, but log still contains errors: http://paste.fedoraproject.org/160624/29788141/

And now, what to do with history? Preferably without loosing it.
