2.0b7.6 - Zotero interfering with Firefox application settings
Zotero 2.0b7.6 appears to interfere with fire the application settings of my Firefox (aka Iceweasel) browser on Debian Lenny (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.15) Gecko/2009102815 Firefox/3.0.6 (Debian-3.0.6-3)). Here is a description of the problem:
Scenario 1) I am running Zotero and browsing an e-journal (I have tested with two different journals) through my university's (U of Pittsburgh) library VPN (Juniper connect). I select to view a PDF version of one of the articles and Firefox hangs indefinitely with no error messages.
Scenario 2) I start up Firefox with Zotero enabled, I go to Edit-->Preferences and click on the Applications tab. Firefox hangs indefinitely with no error messages.
Scenario 3) I start up Firefox but disable Zotero. I go to Edit-->Preferences and click on the Applications tab. Firefox shows the list of MIME / application settings
Scenario 4) I start up Firefox but disable Zotero. I browse an e-journal. I select to view a PDF version of one of the articles and Firefox works as expected.
Please let me know if I can provide any further assistance.

*I don't think that my PDF issues were related to Zotero now* because I have other problems downloading PDFs when logged into the VPN since the other day. Zotero appear to have been an innocent bystander to whatever issue the VPN and browser are having. I will report when I finally determine the problem and its solution. My apologies for any confusion.
