Upgrade StorageWorking offline with Zotero 2.0
I have so far used Zotero 1.0, with great satisfaction.
However, it is becoming obvious that upgrading to 2.0 would have significant advantages.
I have a question about working offline. I frequently work without an internet connection: partly because I work in a hospital that blocks out cell phone coverage, and partly because I spend time in areas where internet access is slow or nonexistent.
If I modify my Zotero library offline, and then later plug the computer online, what happens? Will Zotero automatically upload the changes? Does this happen when Firefox is opened, or only when Zotero is opened? Does this hang other web browsing until completed?
I understand that the synching can be done automatically or manually, but I am most interested in what happens if it is just set to the default auto mode.

After the possibly large initial sync after upgrading, which may briefly hang the browser, subsequent syncs shouldn't interfere with anything (unless you add, say, thousands of items between syncs).
