Upgrade Storage[Z7] Unable to save PDF from Firefox
Ever since installing the latest Zotero beta a couple days ago, I've been unable to save PDFs using the Zotero Connector in Firefox. However if I launch another Chromium-based browser and navigate to the same URL, the Zotero Connector works fine and I'm able to save the PDF to my library.
I'm referring specifically to PDFs open in the browser's built-in PDF viewer. I'm only encountering issues when attempting to save PDFs in that scenario. If I try to save the article from the journal's website, I don't have any issue. But there are some cases where I need to save a PDF file from other non-journal sources, in which case I have to navigate to the URL which hosts the file directly and save from there using the Connector.
I know a workaround would be to simply download the file and drag it into my Zotero library. But I find it smoother to use the connector for importing (even though it always fails to pull metadata in this scenario) just for the convenience. I'm hoping this functionality can be restored.

With this document, the connector in Firefox doesn't detect it's a PDF, but as a web page. Clicking on the button doesn't do anything. In Chromium, the document is not detected as a PDF either, but is able to save to Zotero, as mentioned by the OP.
With this document, the connector in Firefox again detects it as a web page. And clicking on the button has no effect. In Chromium, the document is successfully detected as a PDF and is saved in Zotero with correct metadata.
