Word plugin crashes Firefox (Report ID: 64810611)
When I click the "Set Document Preferences" or "Add citation" menu (and possibly others) in Word, Firefox crashes instead of opening the document preferences dialog.
This did not happen before. I suspect it does since I added new CSL style files and/or changed the bibliographic style in my word document.
I tried to create a new Word document and copy my text in it, but still get the same error. I tried creating a new Word document and insert a new citation, but Firefox crashes as well.
Mac OS X 10.6
Firefox 3.0.5
Zotero 2.0.9
Word 2008 for Mac 12.1.5
Thanks

In general, there'll not be a lot of enthusiasm for troubleshooting an old Zotero version running on a very old Firefox.
Re: citation styles, I installed them yesterday from http://www.zotero.org/styles/
following styles:
Neuron
Journal Neurovirology
Current biology
Neuropsychologia
(I'm looking for a style that doesn't insert initials for ambiguous authors in-text)
(btw, a lot of these styles seem to be empty)
Thanks again

Changing the disambiguation in any existing style really isn't hard - you'll have to delete one line of code and save a file.
http://www.zotero.org/support/dev/citation_styles/style_editing_step-by-step
has directions.
Thanks for the tip about style editing and your quick response.
It's perfectly fine to keep using an old version of Zotero for finish a project - that's what I do in fact - but you need to be aware that some of the things in the documentation etc. will refer to the most recent version so you need to check things more closely (including the heading of the style repository, which clearly states 2.1 and higher).
But you're right, I'm about to submit this paper, so a bit reluctant to update things at the last minute. After this is done, I'll update Firefox and Zotero to the latest version, i promise!
And yes, by all means, finish the paper before you update.
