It'd probably be worth it to try to install Zotero Standalone (and obviously share the database with Zotero for Firefox). Best I can tell, there's only a single report of this with Standalone--parny above--so it's at least worth a try to get this working.
OK. I happened to restart my computer, and the problem is still here.
The only thing that I can think about is that by the time I first reported on the problem till my update about the problem being "solved", the computer had been closed for more than a day. That's it... :-(
Is there anything new about solving this mysterious problem?
P.S. I use both Zotero for Firefox and Zotero Standalone, so I sadly have to say that I don't think the solution mentioned above is the suitable one... and again thank you adamsmith.
Ok, I have news.
I get the Integration Error with Zotero Standalone (fine with LO).
However, I installed Zotero for Firefox and with that running, the Integration Error with Word disappears.
I prefer to use standalone, but at least there's a work around now.
HTH.

Hi,
Add me...
Same thing : impossible to connect zotero to FF.
FF36
Z 4.0.26
ZW 3.1.8
Word 2010
I have problem since last week(but I didn't use since couple of months). I succeed to get it works thursday and friday after a lot of desinstallation, reinstallation, close-open. So I can't say what was the good sequence. And today, it still didn't work and I have to find it before the end of the day (grant deadline!).
I tried in empty FF profile having just Zotero and ZoteroWord and it doesn't help, so I don't think it's incompatibility with other addons.
I'm in a corporate environement, so I can't deactivate firewall. I'm not on a proxy. But it works before and I don't think something was changed on this side.

If you're in a pinch, you could try installing the ESR version of Firefox--if this is Firefox 36 related, that should work. But right now we're still somewhat in the dark, so no guarantees:
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/faq/
Windows XP SP3
Firefox 36.0
Zotero for Firefox 4.0.26.1
Zotero LibreOffice Integration 3.5.9
Zotero Word for Windows integration 3.1.18
Microsoft Office Standard 2010
NOD32 Antivirus 8
All applications are localized in Czech. Only Word integration does not work.
Same error message: "Zotero could not load the component required to communicate with your word processor. Please ensure that the appropriate extension is installed and try again."
With: firefox 36
Word 2010
Zotero 4.0.26.1
Zotero word for windows integration 3.1.18
A new version of the Word plugin is now out that should fix this issue. Your version should update automatically within a day or two, or you can update manually from the Firefox Add-ons pane or from the installation page. (If you're not running Windows XP and are still having trouble, start a new thread, since your issue is different.)
(Aurimas and Simon get the credit for tracking this down. Note, though, that while this issue was ultimately fixable, Windows XP is no longer supported by Microsoft, including for security updates in most cases. We generally don't support End-of-Life software, so we can't guarantee that there won't be further issues in the future. People running XP should upgrade to later Windows versions if at all possible.)

thanks for your immediate reply. I will update you in several hours, since I am in the middle of work right now...

The issue that @parny is experiencing is probably unrelated to this general problem.
It works with standalone

Standalone works.
