Upgrade StorageIssue with Firefox portable and Word integration
I'm using Firefox portable with Zotero on Windows XP and it works very well.
Recently, though, I've found that when I try to retrieve a citation through Word (2003) Zotero seems to look for it in my desktop version of Firefox even if the portable version is running. I get an error that says that Zotero can't communicate with Firefox and that i should make sure it's running.
Is there anyway I can get the plug-in to look in the portable version of Firefox?

If you're comfortable doing so, you could start Firefox from the command line and send us the debug output. First go to about:config in the URL bar, type debug.log into the Filter box, and make sure extensions.zotero.debug.log is enabled. Then start Firefox from the command line with the -console flag:
Start, Run, "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -console
Then in the console window that appears, go to the window's menu (upper-left corner), Properties, Layout, and change the Scrollback Buffer Size height to 9999 (and you might want to say "Save properties for future windows with same title").
If the Word integration server is running, you should see the message "Integration HTTP server listening on 127.0.0.1:50001" near the beginning of the output, and you should also see some debug messages as the plugin tries to communicate with Zotero.
