zotero icon gone ff 3.06

I have seen this thread: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/5654/installation-zotero-15-synch-37/#Item_0

However, with Firefox 3.06 and zotero sync preview 3.8, I still have a missing zotero icon, and zotero won't even open using alt/ctrl/z.

i am running vista. funny, but in windows 7 it works!
help!!
thank you so much.

    That thread was about a bug in 3.7 with non-English versions of Firefox.

    Dan,
    thank you so much for your help.

    however, i still have the problem. i followed the corrupt extension guidelines at firefox, and i still have no icon or access to zotero. it might be a new bug with ff 3.06 and sp 3.8. i have:
    1. unistalled zotero and reinstalled.
    2. removed ff 3 and reinstalled it, twice.
    3. i followd the link you sent above.
    so, i'm not sure what to do.

    is there anything else to do?
    can i somehow export my data out without using the interface?
    thank yous so much for your responsiveness. i love zotero!

    Does Zotero show as installed in Tools->Add-ons? Does it appear in the Tools menu?
  • zalinj
    yes, it is installed in Tools>preferences.
    i can even access the prefs and change them, but no icon, and not access to main gui.

    thanks!

    "If Zotero appears in the Tools menu, make sure the status bar itself is visible: under the View menu, ensure that Status Bar is checked."
  • zalinj
    yes, my status bar is visible :)
    still no icon. i can see my foxmarks icon, but not zotero.
    thank you.

    Try disabling your other Firefox extensions. A number of users have reported this problem recently with the new version of the Skype extension.
  • zalinj
    LOL!!
    I was just about to write that I had fixed this by uninstalling the stupid Skype extension!!

    you were one step ahead of me. Everything works now. I think the skype extension was also causing ff3 to linger in my process list and suck up major memory.

    i am all set. thank you so much. i am amazed at how responsive you have been. zotero rocks!!!!
