Zotero won't sync 1365296825

Hi,
Whenever I try and sync Zotero standalone I get an error. I read another post regarding this on the forums that maybe related, but that post was regarding the size of a file that was dragged in. To my knowledge I have not dragged in any files to Zotero and I believe I should have plenty of space. I get this message:

[extra output removed — D.S.]

I have rebooted my machine, relaunched Zotero. Disabled other plugins in Firefox.
Suggestions?
Thanks,

    What happens if you load https://sync.zotero.org in a browser? If you see something other than the text "Nothing to see here.", see the SSL certificate error page mentioned in the error report.
    Disabled other plugins in Firefox.
    Since this is Zotero Standalone, browser extensions wouldn't make any difference.

    I think it has to do with network issues. I sync on my laptop at home. I did get a 'nothing to see here' when I loaded the link. Thanks.
