Firefox Hang Problem
I'm using Firefox 3.6.10 with Zotero 2.0.9 and Zotero Mac Integration 3.0b3.
I use this with Microsoft Word 2008 on my MacBook OSX 10.5.8.
I believe it's makes Firefox hang up all the time, particularly when switching from other applications (Word, Safari, etc.) to Firefox by clicking on the Firefox window the browser hangs for about 30 seconds--it just happened as I was writing this.
It seems a lot of people I know that use Zotero in my department on Macs have the same problem, others--with my same software combo--say they don't.
I've tried reinstalling everything several times, to no avail. Help please. I love Zotero, but this problem makes it really annoying to use.

In any case - unless you can create reproducible steps to create that hang, unfortunately this is completely useless as an error report - developers can't fix what they can't replicate.
Switching between Word and Firefox, for example, equals hang.
This is obviously not something all Zotero users experience, nor all Zotero and Mac users (most devs use Mac, in fact). So first you want to make sure this is actually Zotero. Have you disabled Zotero and done the same things, for example?
You may also want to try disabling automatic syncing -- I personally do get periodic hangs when syncing starts and finishes on my underpowered netbook.
