How do you keep Firefox Sync connected?

Firefox Sync says, "Be sure to leave Firefox Sync connected so your data will automatically sync every day," but there are no instructions on how to stay connected.

There is no explanation as to how you would become "unconnected" so I don't know what I should do to avoid that. Would someone explain this to me?

Thank you.

I have set up Sync. Perhaps the wording on the page that appears after you set it up was not carefully thought out when it was written. The phrase "leave Firefox Sync connected" implies that it can become unconnected. If that is possible, what do I do to prevent that from happening?

I think this refers to the initial setup since it can take up to 30 minutes to sync the first time.
