Firefox crashing after Zotero update
Firefox 3.5.2
Zotero 2.0.7
PythonExt 2.6.2.20100203
Zotero MacWord Integration 3.0b3
When I try to start Firefox, the icon bounces once in the Dock and then crashes (I get the Firefox crash reporter). I can start in Safe Mode without a problem, or in regular mode with all add-ons disabled. I have no extensions other than the three listed above. I tried disabling all plugins (Flash, etc.), but it still crashed. Firefox will start with just the PythonExt or with PythonExt and MacWord Integration, but not with any combination involving Zotero itself.

I just installed 2.0.7 and have the same problem with Firefox on my mac.
Not great - 3.5 isn't _that_ old and Zotero should certainly work with it, but on the other hand it's generally a bad idea to run outdated browser versions, as most of the incremental updates between major versions are bug and security fixes.
However, I have some other extensions that aren't compatible with Firefox 3.6, so that's kind of too bad.
If you're running Firefox 3.5, please try the latest 2.0 Branch dev XPI (starting up in Safe Mode first if need be) and let us know if it fixes the problem for you.
Temporarily, could you revoke the 2.0.7 upgrade and revert to the previous version?
