Mac Firefox crashes when Zotero is enabled and I save a pdf link or print-to-pdf

deftective

About 1/3 or 1/2 of the time when I print-to-pdf or save a pdf that's linked using Firefox's menu (not using the Zotero import tools), Firefox crashes, I get the Mozilla CrashReporter, and I restart Firefox.

My submission of bug reports indicates a pretty consistent thread leading up to the crash: CoreFoundation > AppKit > Foundation > FinderKit. A few recent examples are linked (https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/bp-aa92d6a3-251b-4748-96d6-749ee2111102, https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/bp-200a0cde-12f6-461c-9b9b-8ca022111122, https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/bp-6d7e5d5d-4ae8-48c1-ac8a-a19d52111126, https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/bp-b83771c0-875f-4b79-837c-041172111126, https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/bp-f015180e-1180-4ff5-9d24-0110a2111126).

print-to-pdf stops crashing when I disable Zotero from my add-ons in Firefox.

I'm running Mac OS X 10.7.2, Firefox 8.0.1, Zotero 2.1.10.

What can I do to be able to use both Firefox and Zotero?

According to the crash reports this is a top Firefox bug in 10.7.2, so it will have to wait for a fix from Mozilla. Yours is the first report of it we've seen, so it doesn't seem to be universal among Zotero users. You can see if it happens in a new Firefox profile with an empty Zotero library.
