Firefox sync has not been working all day on ANY of my devices. All I get is a message at the bottom of the screen saying "Sync encountered an error while syncing: Unknown error. Synch will automatically retry this action."

I have not installed or updated anything. This is occuring on both 4.0 and 4.01 installations of Firefox for Desktops.

There's been a problem with the Sync servers for a few days now, they're up and down way too often.
