[MLZ] Cannot start Zotero after reinstall
My Mac's logic board failed and I replaced it. The failed board had caused numerous potential OS/software issues, I was told, so I wiped my HDD and reinstalled.
After reinstalling FF, the first thing I did was to install Zotero's multilingual version (thanks Frank Bennett!) Currently, addon manager shows me running: 3.0.11m322
I can open and edit Zotero settings, but when I try to open the browser pane or tab, I get the following error:
警告:Zoteroを起動するときにエラーが発生しました。
Roughly:
"Warning: An error occurred when starting Zotero."
Not the verbose error one hopes for.
At present, I have no other extensions installed.
I should mention that the monolingual version works fine (4.0.9)
Any thoughts?

I'd start by installing the most recent version from citationstylist.org
Nathan: Let's get started.
The 3.0.11m322 MLZ release is very old, and it's almost certain that the terse error you're getting is just due to the fact that it's not compatible with recent versions of Firefox. As adamsmith says, you need to install a more recent version of MLZ. The latest is 4.0m373.
Depending on the state of the library that you want to use with MLZ, installing the more recent version may upgrade the database. As the note on http://citationstylist.org/tools says, the MLZ database schema differs from mainstream Zotero, so once you run MLZ on a library, it is simplest to stay with it, unless you have a very strong reason to move back to official Zotero. It is possible to move back, however.
A significant advantage of the later MLZ version is that it support sync of multilingual data. If you run into any problems with the upgrade process, post back and I'll help you sort things out.
