Zotero Crashing When Using Firefox Plugin

Hello,

I've been experiencing an issue with Zotero where the application crashes whenever I try to use the Zotero Connector plugin in Firefox. This issue started when I was using the Zotero OCR plugin, but it has persisted even after I've stopped using the OCR plugin.

Here's what I've tried so far to resolve the issue:

- I've updated Zotero to the latest version (6.0.26).
- I've updated Firefox to the latest version.
- I've checked that Tesseract and pdftoppm, which are dependencies for the Zotero OCR plugin, are correctly installed on my system. The output of tesseract -v is tesseract 5.3.1 and the output of pdftoppm -v is pdftoppm version 23.06.0.
- I've increased my Zotero storage quota and ensured that I'm not exceeding it.
- I've tried disabling other Firefox extensions to see if there's a conflict.

Despite these troubleshooting steps, the problem persists. Whenever I try to import source information using the Zotero Connector in Firefox, Zotero crashes immediately.

Here's the error report from Zotero:

I would appreciate any help or suggestions to resolve this issue. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Best,
Anders
  • There's a known bug in Zotero on macOS where plugins that open a progress window (as DOI Manager does) can trigger a crash when external monitors are used. It's fixed in the Zotero 7 beta.
