Firefox could not load the component required to communicate with your word processor.

Jon Rubin
I am having one of those days where I would actually have achieved *more* by staying in bed. So this may not be a Zotero problem but on the hope that it is, and it's easily fixable:

when I try to Set Document Preferences I get this

"Firefox could not load the component required to communicate with your word processor. Please ensure that the appropriate Firefox extension is installed, then try again"

[JavaScript Error: "[Exception...

report id 1028734097

firefox 3.5.3 openoffice 3.1 zotero r5192 openoffice integration 3.0a2

I've tried uninstalling the plug in and the extension but no joy.

    I'm not sure what's causing this, but try the OpenOffice trunk XPI.

    Hi Simon - done that, also changed my URE directory from

    /usr/lib/jre1.6.0_11/

    to

    /opt/openoffice.org3/basis-link/ure-link/share/java/

    and it seems to be behaving (fingers very crossed, as my both me and my system are a bit unstable at the mo.) :)
