"Could Not Save Item" Firefox 3 and Google Scholar

"An error occured while saving this item."

I recently upgraded to Firefox 3. I now cannot save anything from Google Scholar. Google Books works fine. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling zotero, to no avail. I noticed that when reinstalling all of my bibliographical entries still exist, so maybe I need to manually go in and completely delete all zotero stuff for a clean install?

I run 1Password, Libx, Google Desktop Search, and Delicious bookmarks as add-ons. Disabled all, no effect.

What should I do? I'm a novice at this, do I need to provide debug output?

Thanks very much,
Nate

    Fixed by creating a new profile in FF 3. Something in there must have gotten screwed up during upgrade.

    Strange. I'm getting the same problem with FF3 and Zotero 1.5-sync1. From Google Scholar, if I import a large number of references, every few references will cause the error. I can skip that problematic reference and import more. But it gets very tedious.
    Didn't try with a new profile yet but it might not be that frequent an issue to warrant such a cumbersome move.

    Enkerli: Google Scholar does some throttling, so you may not be able to import many references at once.
