Zotero standalone doesn't start

pprw

Zotero (standalone version) doesn't start anymore on my Debian Sid (Xfce) computer.

Is there a way to start zotero without addons to see if one of them causes the problem?

Here is the error log:

xulrunner not found, trying firefox instead.

This won't work. It needs to use the bundled XULRunner version, as it should by default, not the system Firefox.

Is this the official tarball from zotero.org that you're using? What is the "zotero" command, exactly? Note that you want to be starting the 'zotero' in the extracted directory, not 'run-zotero.sh'. So, in other words, cd'ing to the extracted directory and running './zotero' should work.
