Firefox goes very slow with zotero

ftv88

Hi.
I though firefox was slow because of my old computer. But when I bought a new one it still goes very slow when I use Zotero. If I write tags I must wait at least 5 sec between each tag. Any tips on this issue?

If the tag selector on the left is open, you could try closing that.
What's the total number of items in your database?
Did you import from another reference manager?

ftv88

It's open. How do I close it?
2900 papers.
Yes, from citeulike with a bibtex file.

adamsmith

just clicking the top of it should do.
Bibtex import shouldn't cause any issues, so that's not relevant.

Thanks, that helped a little bit but its still stops and use much time.

Can you provide a Debug ID for a single operation that's slow? Also make sure you've emptied your trash.

ftv88

Hm, I am not sure what you mean with a single operation?
Add a reference?
I made a Debug ID: D1073050633.

The trash is now empty.

Disable any other Zotero-related extensions you have.

(And then re-enable them one by one and let us know the culprit.)

Ok, I only have a firefox add on and a word add on. I can disable them both and only install the firefox add on since I don't need the word add on right now. I will try to add some new references tomorrow and give you some feedback. Thanks so far!

dstillman

No, I'm virtually certain that you have something else installed here — there's a massive RDF export in this output, which, if this was really just for adding a reference, would only happen if you have some sort of auto-exporting extension installed. (I'd guess the one called "Zotero autoexporting", but there might be others.)

Ok, how do I do this?

Go to the Firefox Add-ons window and disable or uninstall whatever it is you installed.
