Firefox version 4.0.1 Firefox Sync Version 1.7

I have this combination installed on two different machines (one is WinXP, the other Win7).

When I goto the Addons screen to see which addons are installed and I click the "option" button for the Firefox Sync addon I get a popup window that gives me this error message.

The full details are as follows:

XML Parsing Error: undefined entity Location: chrome://weave/content/options.xul Line Number 6, Column 3: 

 <setting id="weave-account" type="string" title="&account.label;" />

You don't need the Firefox Sync 1.7 extension with Firefox 4, Sync is a built in feature. Uninstall that extension and that error message shouldn't appear.
