Upgrade StorageFirefox freezes / hangs, and I think it has to do with Zotero
Just to make myself perfectly clear: I think Zotero is the best thing that happened to citation management since the invention of the pencil sharpener. I *LOVE* it.
Okay, on to the whining: In the past couple of weeks, my Firefox (v. 3.6.3, running on a Mac OS X 10.5.8) has been freezing / hanging very often - immediately upon startup, for a few seconds, and then every once in a while. It seems to happen especially when I am trying to go to a new website or click a link.
I think it has to do with Zotero, since I remember seeing an error message about "chrome:" and I vaguely recall it having something to do with Zotero. I'm open to being wrong, though. :-)
I collected two error ID's:
The first one is from the end of a long browsing session: 1352586486
This one is immediately upon starting up Firefox: 702808941
Any thoughts?

When you see that message, are you clicking Stop Script, or are you clicking Continue? Click Continue until it goes away, or it'll just happen again.
For other things, it's easy enough to tell if Zotero is responsible by disabling it from Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions.
If a particular action is slow, you can reproduce it, and you think Zotero is responsible, generate a Debug ID for that action (and that action alone) and post it here.
