Zotero typically works out of the box with the newest Firefox release. However, if you're testing Firefox releases from the Aurora or Beta channels, there may be some hoops to jump through to get Zotero working.

Warning: While the risk of data corruption is low, some or all Zotero functionality may be broken with Aurora and Beta Firefox releases.

• Zotero 2.1.10 is compatible with Firefox 3.6-9.0.1.
• Zotero 3.0rc1 is compatible with Firefox 3.6-12.0 (and probably later versions as well).

The Zotero OpenOffice.org/LibreOffice/NeoOffice plugin typically works with new Firefox updates, although Firefox 10 compatibility currently requires the dev XPI. Install the Add-on Compatibility Reporter to force compatibility.

The Word for Mac plugin usually requires a new version of PythonExt for new versions of Firefox. The latest version of PythonExt is 111220, which supports Firefox 3.6-10.0. Install the Add-on Compatibility Reporter to force compatibility.

Because of changes in Firefox 11, it does not appear to be possible to compile PythonExt for it. The scriptingBridge branch of the Word for Mac plugin Git repository contains an experimental Firefox extension that interfaces with Word for Mac using Objective-C instead of Python. This extension should work with Firefox 4 and all later releases on Mac OS X 10.5 or later, but it is relatively untested, and XPIs are not presently available.

The Zotero Word for Windows plugin must be updated for each Firefox release. Compatibility will be available in the WinWord Integration Trunk XPI prior to release. Currently, the Zotero Word for Windows plug-in supports Firefox 3.6-9.0.
