Issues Downloading Articles
Trying to download academic articles from Google Scholar. When I click to open up the PDF in Firefox, the icon stays as Webpage (doesn't recognize it's a journal article). Right clicking on the extension still won't let me save to Zotero (with or without a snapshot). Tried saving to my library first, then opening the PDF. Still doesn't work. Tried downloading multiple files from my library, received an error with saving.

dstillmanYou wouldn't want to try to save from the PDF link from Google Scholar, which could just be a PDF on a random server, and Zotero may or may not be able to retrieve metadata for it. If you're saving multiple items, you can save from the Google Scholar search results, but for best results you'd want to click through to each article pages and save from there.
