Please note these instructions from zotero.org:

This custom build of PythonExt fixes several issues with the official releases, including the alpha release for Firefox 3.6. For instructions on how to update PythonExt, see the troubleshooting page. Firefox 3.0 users should install PythonExt from the official site. Note that this build of PythonExt will work only with Intel Macs.

Communication Error or Non-Responsive Plugin Buttons
If you see one of the following errors:
'Word could not communicate with Zotero. Please ensure Zotero is running and try again.'
or
'Could not find a running Word instance.'
or the plugin appears and buttons are clickable, but no insert citation window appears, try the following steps:
- Ensure that Zotero Word for Windows Integration is enabled in Tools → Add-ons → Extensions in Zotero.
- Make sure that you're running Zotero as the same user as in Word. The plugin may fail, for example, if Zotero is run as an administrator while Word is run as a regular user. For security and stability reasons, you should typically not run any software as an administrator.
- Try temporarily disabling any security software you're running, which could interfere with the connection between Word and Zotero.
- Windows plugins communicate with Zotero using the remote window. Thus, launching Zotero with the -no-remote command-line option will prevent the plugin from functioning. (You might do this accidentally if you have multiple Zotero profiles.) The solution is to remove the -no-remote command-line option from the shortcut used to launch the Zotero profile (this flag should never be used with Zotero).
