Upgrade StorageExport with with files crashes Firefox
Whenever I do an export to Zotero RDF and tick the Export Files box, Firefox crashes. This happens on both individual items and the entire library

2) Are you using 1.0.0b3.r1 of Zotero?
3) Try Firefox 2.0.0.1, though that probably won't help.
4) Here's what I said on another thread about a different Linux crash:
If you start Firefox via the command line, does it dump a message to the terminal when the crash occurs? Ultimately, a crash is outside our domain, as it indicates a bug in Firefox or the OS and not something we can catch in our code, but if we can figure out exactly what the problem is we can report it to Mozilla and/or the Linux provider and possibly figure out a workaround.
1) $ uname -an
Linux host.example.com 2.6.9-42.0.3.ELsmp #1 SMP Mon Sep 25 17:28:02 EDT 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS release 4 (Nahant Update 4)
2) Yes. 1.0.0b3.r1
3) Same problem with 2 and 2.0.0.1
$ ./firefox

$ ./firefox -v

Same issue as in the other Linux crash thread, but the relevant fp.init() line is in Zotero_File_Exporter.prototype.save() in fileInterface.js. Adding the same appendFilters() line below that will fix the problem.
The fix will be included in the next release, which should be out very soon.
