I assume you've restarted your computer?
If so - same issue in a new document?

Make sure you have the latest version of the Word for Mac plugin.

Yes, I did check that I had the latest word for mac plugin and did restart the computer. Still the same issue.

I have just replaced firefox 29 with firefox 28

It works fine now.

Can you provide a Report ID after reproducing this?

We also need an answer to adamsmith's question above.

Hi

I have the same issue (even after restarting and in another Word document). It seems the first time I enter a citation there it works fine but no further citations can be made without evoking this error message.

I recently updated to Firefox 29.0. I have the latest Word plug-in 3.1.16.

alexdoruyter: You're running Zotero 4.0.12, which is quite out of date. Upgrade to the latest version.
