installation not allowed/working with FF 3.6.6

cdrive
Running Mac OSX 10.6.4
FireFox 3.6.6 (updated recently)

Trying to install newest and older versions (2.0.3 and 1.0) of Zotero, but am receiving the error message: Not compatible with FireFox 3.6.6

Is this a known issue?

I am a new user with a new account.

Thank you

    The new version (2.0.3 is compatible with FF 3.6x) - try installing again.
    Zotero 1.0x is not compatible with FF Firefox 3.6 and upwards.

    I've tried and retried. I've shut down the computer and restarted, and still it tells me it's not compatible with FF 3.6.6.

    If it's of any help, when I attempt to close FF, it tells me that it needs to "cancel 1 download" before it will allow me to quit.

    The only other extension I have installed is the Delicious.com extension.

    Any other ideas, solutions?

    p.s. I figured 1.0 was not compatible, but I tried because I was troubleshooting.

    Here is a link to a screenshot of the error:

    So, I re-assigned myself rights to my own home folder (i.e. /Users/username) and now it seems to have worked.

    So, I imagine some sort of rights issue was happening under my account.

    I'll post again if I have another issue.

    Thank you

    I installed latest Firefox 4 Beta last night. Zotero is listed as a non-compatible add-in.
