Problem Installing Zotero 2 Beta in Firefox for Mac

phdavids
I have installed Zotero 2 Beta on two PC's, in both cases in Firefox 3, and in both cases without a hitch. But my main computer is a MacBook Pro with the latest operating system and Firefox 3. I installed Zotero on it, and I ran into a problem. First, while I could use Firefox's tools menu to set Zotero's preferences, Zotero itself would not function. I could not get the window to open, despite its showing in the same place as in the PC versions of Firefox. Second, with Zotero installed, I could not post anything to Facebook. Data entry in the Facebook posting window would only show one line and when I tried to click "Share" nothing would happen. Remove Zotero, and Facebook operated normally. Has anyone had such a problem? If so, how have you solved it? I do have the Zotero plug-in for Word 2008 and that seemed to install without a problem, although one does not see it in Word. I did try to go backwards to Zotero 1, but I cannot do that because, as Zotero informs me, my database is not compatible with that earlier version. Any help and/or advice?

    We've never heard of anything like this being caused by Zotero. Have you tried disabling all other extensions?

    I have now experimented with various combinations of extensions. I think that I discovered the conflict. There is an add-in called "Split Browser" and when that is enabled, Zotero cannot open its window. Having removed it, Zotero seems to work fine.
    Thank you

    That is a known incompatibility:
