File open window hang-up (Linux)

haduong
Hello,

Thanks for all the good work on Zotero. I am trying to workaround a sync issue by doing a manual export/import. Problem is, when choosing "Importer" from the gear drop-down menu, the "open file" dialog hangs up Firefox.

- The application freeze also occurs when choosing "Open file" from the general "File" menu.
- It does not happens when I deactivate Zotero from the "Tools / Plugins" menu.
- It persists when I deactivate all other plugins but Zotero.
- I have Zotero 2.0.2, Firefox 3.5.8., Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic, Intel 32 bits.

is anybody else experiencing this ?

Thanks in advance,
Minh

    Workaround:
    In the about:config page of Firefox,set ui.allow_platform_file_picker to "false".

    Additional information:
    I use Kubuntu updated with KDE SC 4.4.1.
