Let zotero opens full firefox

yxwang2002 · July 8, 2024

I'm currently using Zotero 7 on linux. When I click an item without attachment or an item in RSS feed, it opens a firefox window that jumps to the DOI. However, the firefox opened is "zotero connector" or "zotero browser" (according to ChatGPT). This version of firefox disables all plugins. I found this very unconvient because my firefox is configured to redirect some journal websites to my school's library version so I can download the pdf. Any way to change this behavior?

Don't ask ChatGPT Zotero questions — it just makes things up. The Zotero Connector is the browser extension for saving to Zotero, and there's no "Zotero browser".

Zotero has no settings for browsers and just opens URLs in the default browser on your system. You might have multiple Firefox profiles, in which case you may want to delete one:
