How often does Weave connect to the server?
After the initial data transfer is completed during initial setup, Weave connects to the server periodically when it accumulates enough changes that need syncing or when enough time has passed since the last sync (at least once every 20 minutes if any data has changed). Weave also syncs when you start Firefox, when you quit it, and when you click on the "Sync Now" button in the Weave menu or the preferences.
Why doesn't my account work anymore?
Due to server changes, you will need to re-register with Weave. You can do this after installing the new add-on via the Setup Wizard.
I use the NoScript add-on and the Weave Setup Wizard isn't working. Why not?
The Weave Setup Wizard currently conflicts with the NoScript add-on. Please disable NoScript before attempting to install Weave.
