Standalone and Firefox

gagallo1942
I have dowloaded the alpha standalone version. The first time i have used it, in connection with libreoffice, it has worked fine. I have been able to insert citations smoothly. Now, after closing and restarting both Zotero and libreoffice, it does not work anymore. It says: "Firefox could not load the component required to communicate with your word processor. Please ensure that the appropriate Firefox extension is installed and try again". I assumed that the standalone version did not require Firefox, and in fact the first time it did not.
Does anyone have an idea of why this is happening?

    The "Firefox" is just due to an error message that hasn't been updated - standalone does indeed not require FF. So the problem here is the link to the word processor -
    follow the steps appropriate to your OS and word processor here:

    Thanks for your suggestions. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the extension in LibreOffice, but the problem is still there. In the word processor plugin troubleshooting page does not appear to be any reference to standalone.
    I cannot see anything that can solve my problem.

    The same steps that apply to Firefox also apply in standalone. If you provide a report ID, we can probably narrow down possible causes, but there is a very high chance this will be fixed in the next standalone alpha, since we're changing the way OpenOffice.org integration works.
