If you get an "Unspecified Error" the problem is that your desktop hasn't finished sending it's sync data to the server. In this case have your desktop sync again and wait until it displays a "Last Update" time in the sync menu. Then do a refresh in Firefox Home. If you're finding that Firefox Sync isn't syncing, make sure you're not running Firefox in Private Browsing mode which blocks it. textJ'ai fait ça, mais ça ne marche tj pas Ça fait déjà 2 jours
