Firefox 4 not compatible with Zotero?

Majesta

I am still getting a notice every time I start up my computer saying that I cannot use Zotero without downgrading my firefox to 3.6

Zotero 2.1.x is compatible with FF 4 (and is or will be with FF up through 6) - your Zotero copy should update automatically or you can do it manually from the homepage - the only exception are Mac OS X systems with versions before 10.6 - Zotero won't run on those with FF 4, so you either need to update your OS or downgrade your FF.

And that OS X issue is only for the Word plugin, not Zotero itself.

How do I downgrade to a earlier version of Firefox?

I seem to have entered a weird place where my Zotero isn't really working and the Word plug-in is annoyed and I really don't know what to do next....and I am working on my thesis!

Majesta

Is it a good idea to upgrade to OS 10.6...I suppose I could simply do that, right?

adamsmith

if upgrading to 10.6 is easy to do for you yes, that would most likely take care of your Zotero issues.

I am not altogether sure how to upgrade to 10.6 or if my computer has enough oooph to handle it. I have an "older" (2008?) MacBook with 10.5 and the following specs:

Hardware Overview:

Model Name: MacBook
Model Identifier: MacBook3,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.2 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2

Is this adequate?

Your laptop should have enough oomph.

Thank you.
