I regularly sleep and resume my laptop, often with Firefox running. If I'm using a wireless network, the connection will be dead for a few seconds - during which time weave will decide it's due a sync and report an error. Similarly if I simply start Firefox without a network connection Weave will understandably error.

I'd suggest that Weave detects the lack of network connection and doesn't attempt sync (if the browser reports itself in offline mode). Firefox does a good enough job of reporting the lack of network connection itself, a Weave error in these circumstances seems unnecessary.

Comments welcome :)
