Zotero upgrade to 5.x w/Firefox connector not working
I am running Ubuntu 14.04, Firefox v56 (though that should change any day now to V57). I followed the installation instructions for Ubuntu. However, it doesn't seem to be working properly. I double-clicked on set_launcher_icon script and nothing happened. When I right-click on 'zotero' and select 'execute' it opens a terminal and then runs Zotero. However, the terminal shows the following error (which it repeats a few times):
(zotero:25227): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion 'object->ref_count > 0' failed
I really would like to run this from a menu but it's not possible (unless I rewrite the '.desktop. file).
I have also submitted an error report: Report ID: 1883101209
Also, does the terminal always have to run?
I love your software and understand about the changes.
Thanks.

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Zotero
Comment=Research & reference tool
Exec=bash -c "cd Zotero && /home/lee/Zotero/zotero"
Icon=/home/lee/Zotero/chrome/icons/default/default256.png
Terminal=true
Type=Application
It seems to work fine. I am still getting that error in the terminal but, as long as it doesn't matter, I'm good. Thanks for the great product!
As for the desktop file, if the bundled one didn't work, I'm guessing support for the %k and %U flags were added in a more recent version of Ubuntu — I just noticed how old your version is. (Also, the correct icon is default256.png, not updater.png.)
But glad you got it working.
(I fixed the icon line.)
Thanks for the quick replies and your help. I appreciate it.
My mistake. As shown in the .desktop file above, I had it set to "Terminal=true". I changed it to "false" and now it doesn't come up (duh!).
(Off topic: Why is the icon in Firefox grayed-out on some pages?)
