Hi all,

I would be really grateful for some help with this one, as I have a
huge library of Zotero references and at the moment can't incorporate
them into my write-ups..

I am currently working with Firefox 3.6, Mac OS X 10.6.4 and Word
2008.

Upon installation of the latest Zotero plugin for Word 2008 and the
PythonExt, as recommended on the Zotero site, I find that Firefox will
no longer open.. The icon bounces a bit in the tray, but then
disappears again.

I also have noticed that I've been until now running with Cooliris
disabled.. When it is enabled, the same thing happens.

I can open in Safe Mode fine. I have tried Uninstalling both and just
trying one of the two to determine which plugin is causing the
problem, but it seems that both plugins are causing my Firefox to
crash.

I've also tried installing older versions of the plug ins, but to no
avail.

If this helps, this comes up in the Terminal...

My other extensions are as follows, again, in case it helps..
Adblock Plus
Colourful Tabs
Cooliris
Download Statusbar
Hotmail Watcher
Hotmail AdZap
Tweaktube
Zotero 2.0.4
Zotero Scholar Citations 1.1

Apologies if this problem has been posted on another thread, but I've
looked through and can't see one that matches my problem.

I've also got error reports from Firefox..

Error: fileName is undefined

Line: 223

Error: Warning: unrecognized command line flag -foreground

Line: 0

Also just seen this thread, which describes the problem I'm having..
http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/12592/

Tried to delete the files mentioned there.. It hasn't worked.

If anyone has any ideas as to what might be causing this problem, and
how I might be able to resolve it, I'd be really grateful.

Mike
