Browser hanging on a regular basis

flatlanderdox · May 4, 2010

I've been using Zotero for a couple of years now in graduate studies, so have developed quite a database. The tool is amazing. However, I have been having a recurring problem for a while now. Whenever i first open Zotero, or add an item, or copy an item to another zotero folder, or whatever, my browser hangs for about 10-15 or so seconds, tying up my CPU in the process. Needless to say, that gets quite annoying, and dramatically reduces my willingness to use Zotero to do things. Is this problem common?

It's likely trying to sync and failing. Disable auto-sync and check for a sync error.

I think that did fix the problem, for the most part. Thank you!

OK, but that wasn't supposed to be a fix. If you have a sync error, you should report it here and try to resolve it.
