After updating firefox to version 4.0 and at the same time upgrading the zotero add-on to version 2.1.1 (which is the most recent one and the only that works with firefox 4.0), I cannot start firefox any longer. It just dies with a segmentation fault. Only after starting firefox in safe-mode and disabling zotero, I am able to restart firefox... until I enable zotero again. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Enable Zotero 2.Restart Firefox 3.Get Segmentation fault Actual Results: As soon as I try to start firefox from the console, I just get a segmentation fault. Expected Results: Firefox should have started regularly and be ready to use.

Plugins that cause problems need to be reported to the maintainer, has nothing to do with gentoo, if you can not duplicate the failure with firefox-bin feel free to reopen at that point, as it will be a gentoo problem.
I first reported this bug to the zotero developers. They told me, that it seems to be a gentoo-related bug as it does not occur to them using the standard binaries from mozilla. Additionally, I have the problem that the portage tree currently does not offer a firefox 4.0 binary version.

I can fix the binary issue for you if you are interested in testing the binary to see if you can duplicate the results.

I just downloaded the binary version form mozilla directly. With this version, zotero works flawlessly.

I hope I was able to create a proper bt.

Same for me on firefox-4.0-r2 with zotero 2.1.[1234]. (firefox-bin-4.0 works.)
same here segfaults on x86 but works on x64 box reopen?
(In reply to comment #11) > same here segfaults on x86 but works on x64 box > reopen? I am on x86, too. Forum discussion: <http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-870539.html>
The combination www-client/firefox-5.0 and zotero-2.1.8 works on my x86 again. Sven, can you confirm that on your machine?
Yeah, works indeed!
So use firefox-5.0
That's what I'm doing right now :)
