Highlighting

CTV5kvNJq8
I have just installed the very latest Zotero extension in FireFox version 2.0.0.6, Zotero will capture a web page OK, however, when I View Snapshot the snapshot is displayed OK but when I try and highlight any text on the captured web page the highlight function will not highlight the selected text even though I have pressed the highlight text button in the top left corner.I have tried highlighting the text first then pressing the highlight text button and also pressing the highlight text button first then selecting the text to be highlighted but neither work.

OS is Windows XP home with all updates to date.
Browser is Fire Fox 2.0.0.6

Why am I having this problem.

Regards
John.

Edit: I have just looked at the page I wanted to highlight some text on and I think the web page is a ( Frame ) ? Go to this web site and try for your self.

    Hi John,

    Could you give us the URL for the page. The location you gave is where the snapshot is located on your drive.

    Sorry I could have sworn I had copied it to the post.

    It's not just you. I've been having the same problems with a page with frames (in my case entries in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography). I get the same results with the page listed above too. Neither the highlighting nor annotation buttons will work -- they don't show as selected when I click on them and the functions don't work at all.
