Firefox 3 compatibility
Hello,
I've had to make a choice between continuing to use Zotero or remain with Firefox 2. Firefox 3 won (performance issues). But I now am unable to use Zotero. Would really like to see a Zotero version working on FF3 soon :)
Thanks

i just installed ubuntu 8.04 with firefox 3.0b5
installing zotero didnt work but what i did:
dowload the zotero.xpi (right click -> save as)
unzip it
open install.rdf with texteditor
edit line maxVersion to a higher number.. e.g. 4
save changes
zip the whole thing again
rename it to: .xpi
open it with firefox.
works so far
http://www.zotero.org/download/dev/zotero-1.0-branch.xpi
and it works as well
thx,

---followed the advice from peter pan - it worked (Puh!) Thank you!---
Edit: never mind, I was looking at a different version of the page, thanks to the library's silly website system
Hope this was the right place to let you know and thanks a lot for this great extension.
You can view Zotero's debug output to see if it's starting the integration server (which it'll say about 15-20 lines in when you start Firefox) and if it's receiving any requests from the plugin.
Ok, wrote an email. I`ll let you know when there are news on this topic.
I'm using ubuntu 8.04, with firefox 3.0b5
I've tried both the current svn (revision 2646 2652 - corrected) and also the snapshot of about 30 minutes ago, and after install and restart I get a popup with the text: trying Ctrl-Alt-z afterwards I get: This repeats if I restart firefox afterwards.
Any help is appreciated,
Alon
It seems to be in the line that starts with:
REPLACE INTO translators VALUES ('9cb70025-a888-4a29-a210-93ec52da40d4', '1.0.0b4.r1', '', '2008-05-05 14:30:00', '1', '200', '3', 'BibTeX', 'Simon Kornblith', 'bib',
'Zotero.configure("dataMode", "block");
Zotero.addOption("UTF8", true);
...
I've put the code that found the bug (for anyone who wants to check) here:
http://www.pastebin.biz/messages/show/id/653/title/updated_Zotero_scrapers_sql_debugging
basically, open the scrapers.sql file, find '9cb70025-a888-4a29-a210-93ec52da40d4', then find (after that!) 'note' (with the ticks), and replace it with "note"(only one occurrence to fix).
At least then the file passes parsing, still need to check that it actually works now (and I can finally test zotero..)
update: it works!

I can see it among my firefox addons, I can set preferences, but I've no zotero icons and ctrl+alt+Z doesn't do anything.
Any ideas?
Where can I find an older version?
Thank you for your help (and for the great piece of software, of course).

Oh, what's to be done?
Thanks in advance.
This sort of thing is, I'm afraid, why we've cautioned against using the trunk quite a few times in these forums as well as on the SVN and Trac Access page itself. (The other warnings on that page apply to the 1.0 branch dev XPI as well, but we're not making any more database upgrades or major changes on the 1.0 branch, so it's fairly safe to use at this point.)
While this is well into "Unsupported" territory, here's your best bet:
1) Close Firefox and make a copy of your entire Zotero data directory.
2) Export to Zotero RDF any items added or edited since the database upgrade. A saved search might help here.
3) Install the 1.0 branch dev XPI Zotero 1.0.4.
4) Close Firefox, go into your Zotero data directory, and find the highest-numbered backup file (most likely zotero.sqlite.36.bak), which was made right before the DB upgrade. Replace zotero.sqlite with that file.
5) Open Firefox and import the RDF file into the Zotero 1.0 build. Links to any of those items in Word/OO document will break, but otherwise you should be fine.
My question is: if I use the dev branch for ff3b, and version 1.0.3 for ff2, will there be any problem with using the same (network shared) db file with the different ff versions? Should I switch to the dev branch for both ff2 and ff3b? Should I avoid mixing the versions altogether? Please advise.
I will be looking forward to 1.0.4.
Of course, I have to ask ... How soon is 'soon' expected to be? :)
