All,
I get "Error while syncing" from FF Sync and nothing I have read in any of the help pages is specific enough to help me diagnose the trouble.
Problem started occurring after I succefully loaded sync to second computer, now first computer always errors.

Re: Sync Errors
Are both computers using the same version of the Sync extension?

Re: Sync Errors
I've had something of the same problem except that it's Firefox beta 9 (has Sync built in) that all of a sudden stopped syncing throwing the following error:
So just for info's sake...
The strange thing is that Firefox 3.6.13 with the latest Sync plugin (1.6.2) and the Firefox 4 nightly builds (Minefield) both Sync properly. I did delete my entire Sync account at Mozilla Services and set it up fresh on a recommendation at the Mozilla Support site but problem remained the same.
In that light, I had previously heard that there had been a recent update to the Firefox Sync servers and since beta 9 just suddenly stopped syncing a few days ago then I have assumed that update no longer supports beta 9. I think that may be a pretty safe assumption since Sync works in the latest nightly and via the latest Firefox Sync plugin in 3.6.13. That being said, Firefox 4 beta 10 should be released sometime this week so I've stopped Sync in beta 9 and will try again in beta 10.
By the way, I'm running Firefox in Linux Mint 10-amd64 and the beta's and Minefield via the Foxtester add-on for Firefox 3.6.* (works in Ubuntu based distros only). I'm also running beta 9 in Pardus 2011 in another partition (which also stopped syncing).
No solution of course but I'm guessing that Sync will work again in Firefox beta 10 is released.
Sync encountered and error while syncing: Unknown error. Sync Will automatically retry this action

Re: Sync Errors
Beta 10's just a decent-looking nightly from sometime last week. So if it worked then, it should work in b10.
