Zotero panel won't close in Firefox 8 - 1584950971

Nice tool!
But...
...having trouble when trying to close or resize browser pane in Firefox 8.0
Plainly, nothing happens ;-) Error ID is 1584950971
Thanks for the tools and your support!

[JavaScript Error: "JSON.parse is not a function" {file: "chrome://zotero/content/zoteroPane.js" line: 3567}]

Delete the localstore.rdf file (which stores window settings) in your Firefox profile directory and restart Firefox. It looks like it became corrupted.

Thanks for your support Dan!
Did as you suggested, but error reoccurs, new (again corrupted?) localstore.rdf is created.
Any additional thoughts?

Thanks!

Type about:config into the Firefox address bar, search for extensions.zotero.pane.persist and extensions.zotero.sourceList.persist, right-click on them, and select Reset.

And if you want to do Copy Value on each first and paste them in here, that might be helpful for figuring out what caused this.

Ok, did as you suggested, at least tried...
...pane.persist has been reset, but I can't find ...sourceList.persist
Anyway did so in a firefox session where I already tried to close zotero pane. Then closed Firefox, restarted, problem still persists...

So, deactivated the digitaltrendsclub.net addon and restarted firefox.
Yippie, problem's is gone! Great...
...unfortunately I would very much prefer to have that particular addon active... *sigh*

Thanks for your support, maybe any additional idea how to ensure a peaceful coexistance of both addons?

Talk to them. There's tons of junk in the error log from their extension, and they seem to be breaking JSON parsing in Firefox (which could easily affect many add-ons).

You should confirm that re-enabling the add-on causes the problem to occur again, but judging by the error output it will.

brain4hire

Copy that, also had the impression that their addon is not exactly "nicely refined" in terms of coding... ;-)
Re-enabling the add-on reproduces the error encountered...
Thanks again, great support!!
