Firefox crashes when trying to sync

inspiredlight
Hi folks,
I am getting Z set up on a new computer. I have transfered my data fine, which was nice. From Windows (originally) then to Ubuntu (for a 18 months) and now over to Mac. So happy the data files can be used on all platforms.

Anyway... I am trying to set up online syncing. I am choosing to use WebDAV. I have webdav on my hosting server, and use it for other purposes too. I have set up a webdav folder and account specifically for Z. I have no issues accessing the webdav account in OS X Finder.

I add the data to Z prefs. When I try to test the sync it crashes FF.
If I leave the data in there, FF will crash (seemingly out of the blue) from time to time... obviously whenever Z tries to automatically sync.

I am not sure how to resolve this issue, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have FF 3.6.10 on OS X 10.6.4
I have very few other extensions installed on FF, as the profile I am using is one I keep lean. I can post what they are if that is helpful.

With thanks,

Jonathan

    If it would be better for this discussion to be in TROUBLESHOOTING please say so and I will move it. Was not sure.

    Do you mean "crash" or do you mean "freeze"? If the latter, it's probably not really hung. Just let it go.

    Complete crash.
    FF crashes and up comes the crash report submitter.
    Happens every time I try to access or test webdav. Have turned it off for now.

    If you submitted a crash report, go to the URL about:crashes in the Firefox address bar, click on one of the relevant crashes, and post the URL here.

    Okay...
    Here is one:

    Here is another:

    You'll see my comment on that last one:
    "Not sure what happened. I think it is a recently installed plugin doing it.

    Since then I have confirmed it is Zotero because I can repeat it every time (so far).

    Cheers,
