Zotero 5.0.66 segmentation fault on startup
I've been having a strange issue with my Zotero the past couple wweks, where it refuses to start, and supplies a segmentation fault error message on startup. Running zotero-bin directly doesn't help, nor does renaming my .zotero and Zotero directories.
I'm running on Arch linux, with Zotero installed from the AUR. I get the same errors when trying to run Zotero from the linux client download available.

To clarify, I checked the zotero script, and replicated the `zotero-bin --app` etc. command line.
The largest obstacle is getting more information behind the error. All I am currently getting is
segmentation fault (core dumped) "$CALLDIR/zotero-bin" ....etc
and I am unable to coax Zotero to say more.
Is the 'core dump' available for analysis? can I profile the app launch somehow?
Firefox runs just fine, FWIW, as did Zotero a couple weeks past...
this gives me warnings about missing addons (formautofill, screenshots, webcompat-reporter, fxmonitor)
....the first launch.
after this, nothing.

FWIW, here's an strace of /usr/bin/zotero

I'm having similar problems to yours (I think), also with wayland (and with zotero and/or zotero-git from AUR). Zotero also used to run, but after having to reinstall EVERYTHING, it doesn't any more.
So I would be very curious about how you fixed this problem!
