Is the new improved Zemanta broken?

So Zemanta launched a big old update over the weekend and it has a ton of new, good stuff in it. Unfortunately the Firefox extension doesn’t seem to work so well, at least not for OS X (Snow Leopard). I tried all the things recommended here and no luck.

I’m not one to give up though, especially after I set all my preferences and stuff. Besides, I LOVE Zemanta. It makes adding links and relevant information a breeze. And it’s free :) So here’s the way around it for WordPress users: just download the plugin instead and let Zemanta work from within WordPress instead of within Firefox. It doesn’t cause any extra load time for your visitors since it only loads its styles and javascript once you’re logged into the admin part of your site. Not on WordPress or Firefox? That’s okay. Zemanta has you covered for Chrome and Safari (with bookmarklets) and Movable Type, Joomla and Drupal. They even have a plugin for the dreaded Internet Explorer.
