I’ve cut a new release. Thanks for the help everyone.
Yes, thank you so much!
I was just going to say that. Thanks!
That’s because XUL is finicky and poorly documented. But it doesn’t cause any of this.

Just chiming in here for another data point. I had the same issue. I reinstalled Zotero, but that did not help. Then I toggled automaticScraperUpdates from true to false in Hidden preferences, and restarted Zotero. This fixed the problem. Then I turned them back on, and the problem is still fixed.
One note: turning this setting off allowed zotero to install new Better BibTex translators. Could this perhaps be why it hung? They were trying to get installed and couldn’t? And then once they were everything worked fine? So perhaps the issue only occurs when new translators are available for install. Could be unrelated, but just a thought.
That may mean the late-start I added in 7003 actually does make a difference. I’ve scheduled a release with that just now on the off chance it does something.
