Sync encountered an error while synchronising: Unknown error

I'm using Firefox 4.0.1 on Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

I set up a sync account to transfer my history, etc. from my old desktop to my new laptop (details above). Since then, i haven't used my desktop, just the laptop.

For about the last week or so, the following error message keeps popping up at the foot of the screen:

"Sync encountered an error while synchronising: Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action." And there is a 'Sync now' button.

I can't think of anything that I've done (installing extensions, etc.) to cause this to happen.

Any ideas, anyone? All help appreciated.

Go to your sync account, log in, and click clear your sync data. Then click the Sync now button on the error message.

The error went away for me.

Hmm... it won't let me do that. I get the following error message:

"We had a problem purging the data from your account. Please try again later."

I guess I'll try again later...
