Firefox stalls

Hi Zotero,
I have a problem with firefox constantly stalling/freezing/not responding whenever zotero is open. Using Standalone is not so bad. But the Firefox extension really seems to slow Firefox a lot. Tried disabling "auto-sync", but Firefox still "not responding" every 15 seconds or so.
Note-- this also happened for hours at a time when building full-text cache. I have about 1500 items in library.
Thanks!

Yes, this appears to be due to full-text indexing, which happens automatically when the computer is idle. If you let it go for a while, it should finish on its own. (It should also stop if you start using the computer, though if it's in the middle of a large document it could be frozen briefly — that lack of responsiveness should be improved in the next major version.)

Thank you, Dan Stillman.
Superb to have support from you and adamsmith.
This recent convert from Mendeley is looking forward to the next version!

Thanks, Dan Stillman!
Sorry for misdirected postings. The entire Firefox browser was not being very cooperative, even with Zotero running. I tried resetting the preferences and bringing back the Zotero add-one. Seems a little more spritely now.
