LibreOffice 5: No response from plugin

ChristianR

I'm having the problem of Zotero buttons/toolbar not working but visible in Libre Office Writer. I do not get any error messages when clicking on the buttons, just no reaction.

My current system: Win 7 SP1 32bit, Firefox 41.0, Zotero 4.0.28.4 Add-On, Zotero LibreOffice Integration 3.5.10 Add-On, LibreOffice 5.0.1.2, JRE path c:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_60\

After looking at the available support pages and forum threads I'm not sure if my problem is connected to those reported there or a new one:

https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/51023/zotero-firefox-plugin-error-with-libreoffice-5/

Should I try installing an older Java version (7)? I'm hesitant because of security concerns. Or maybe should I try to work with Libre Office 4 portable to test if the LibO version is the problem?

I taught I had re-installed the plugin (from Zotero Firefox Add-On Options) often enough and also restarted LibO and Firefox several times, but now it seems to work without certain actions from my side.

Strange thing is though that
in Firefox AddOns I have Zotero LibreOffice Integration 3.5.10
in LibreOffice Extension Manager I have Zotero LibreOffice Integration 3.5.9

Not sure if I should try again to solve this (manual installation?) or just work with the current setup as long as it works.

yeah, don't worry about that.
