Sometimes Weave can sign in automatically, sometimes it can't.  Sometimes I can sign in manually, sometimes I can't.  But in all cases I get the error message "Invalid username and/or password".

This cannot be true!  I have changed neither and I know they are correct because sometimes Weave works.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to sign in to Weave
2. Use the previously remembered username and password
3. Observe bogus error message, and weep with frustration
Actual Results:  
Bogus error message

Expected Results:  
An error message that GIVES ME A CLUE what's going on, and how I could fix it (or not)

I also get this error - for me it produces the following error in the logs:
2008-09-10 22:43:00	Chrome.Window	INFO	Logging in...
2008-09-10 22:43:00	Chrome.Window	INFO	User string: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008072820 Firefox/3.0.1

I think this may happen because Firefox doesn't close properly, presumably while doing the closing Synch (using Ubuntu - on my Mac it works fine).

Can you re-test with 0.2.99?  A lot of the networking and login core has been rewritten since 0.2.6.
