 When updated to "Tor Browser Bundle 3.0alpha3" Zotero
 (https://www.zotero.org/download/) add-on stopped working: when attempted
 to start it from Tools -> Zotero I get: "There was an error starting
 Zotero." Zotero's preferences opened by Addons -> Preferences work just
 fine.

 Last version of TBB to work with Zotero is "Tor Browser Bundle 3.0alpha2".
 No matter what version of Zotero is installed I get the same error msg.

 Other bundles (2.3 & 2.4) as well as Mozilla's 17.0.8 work just fine.

 Following error msg from Error Console seems crucial to me:

 {{{

 (NS_ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND) [nsIXPCComponents_Utils.import]

 }}}
 All errors after TorBrowser start:

 I suspect the fix for ticket 6152 may have caused it.
