Incompatibility between Zotero and Firestox

herve.panetto
Zotero is a great addon. However, the Zotero addon does not work with Firestox addon (http://www.firestox.com)(incompatibility? conflict?). I do not know if the problem comes from Zotero or Firestox but deactivating Firestox makes Zotero working well.It is a pitty as I use Firestox since many years and I really love it. Does someone has the same problem?

    As far as I can tell, that add-on doesn't work with Firefox versions newer than 3.0b3, which is three years old and not compatible with Zotero 2.1.

    @Simon: you are almost right. The addon has been developped for Firefow 3.0x but, using some tricks (install.rdf), many people (including myself) are using it with newer version of Firefox. I used it with Firefow 4 and it is working really well. There are no conflits or any other problems with any of the 15 other addons but .. Zotero.
    As I need Zotero (great addon), I deactivated Firefox but I would prefer hwing both working, if it is possible.
    When Firestox is activated, the Zotero pane does not display any of my references. It is empty.

    Thanks

    yeah, but that means that Firestox doesn't comply with current FF add-on standards and is almost certainly the culprit - not much to be done, unless someone is willing to fix Firestox - it's hard to believe that there is no updated alternative?
