"A sync process is already running" after suspending laptop
Hi there,
This has been happening consistently since I upgraded to firefox 4.0 and zotero 2.1 (which I did around the same time). I have two Ubuntu 10.04 laptops syncing their databases, but not their storage (I do this with Dropbox), and one is almost always suspended when the other one is on. Each time I wake them up from suspend I get an orange exclamation icon that reports:
"A sync process is already running. To view progress, check the window in which the sync began or restart Firefox."
Restarting Firefox solves the issue, so its not really a major problem just an annoyance, but I hate being annoyed. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jem

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Instead of commenting here, you should start a new discussion. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
Do you have auto-sync enabled? Are you using pane mode or tab mode? Have you tried disabling other Firefox extensions?
Also, provide a Report ID and a Debug ID for the sync attempt (the latter using the "Enable after restart" option).
I assume that Report/Debug IDs aren't useful now. If I can replicate the original situation that I reported I will post them here.
