Segfault on Iceweasel (Debian GNU/Linux) after upgrade Z. to 2.0.7

majnun
Hi all,

I've experienced a segfault on Iceweasel (Debian Firefox flavour) 3.5.11, on my Debian Squeeze 2.6.32-5-amd64 , with KDE 4.4 , when upgraded to Zotero 2.0.7. Iceweasel refused to boot since Zotero upgrade. I had to reboot in -safe-mode, uninstall Zotero (Iceweasel resurrected, then) and install 2.0.3 from Mozilla add-ons, which restored my library where it was ( boof! ... ;-)

Since Iceweasel is a bit outdated about Firefox current version, it could be an Iceweasel problem. The only message booting normal mode from console was 'Segmentation fault'. I'm posting it for Debian users interest.

I'm looking forward for a Zotero upgrade notice, supposing it is a Z. problem (which I'm not sure), for now I'll stick to 2.0.3 version :-)

Regards

    Hi all,
    I experienced the same problem, after upgrading to 2.0.7 this morning.
    I have Iceweasel 3.5.11 on Debian testing 2-6.32-5-686 with KDE 4.4.5.
    I solved by manually deleting the zotero install folders
    .mozilla/firefox/xxxxxxxx.default/extensions/zotero@chnm.gmu.edu/
    .mozilla/firefox/xxxxxxxx.default/zotero/
    manually downgrading to Zotero 2.0.6
    and copying back my library to .mozilla/firefox/xxxxxxxx.default/zotero/
    (boof! for me too!!)

    By the way, it was not intuitive to download the older 2.0.6 version. It would be nice to have a browsable repository of older versions.

    Thanks,
    Marco
