Zotero 7: PDF saving not working via proxy

I can download journal PDFs on the website, but Zotero 7 is unable to automatically save the PDFs. The problem does not exist in Zotero 6.

    We're working on changing how Zotero downloads attachments to better handle situations where the file is accessible in the browser but won't download to the Zotero app. For now, if it's not working, you'll need to download the file separately and drag that to the saved item in Zotero.

    (It's unlikely that this would be different from Zotero 6, though. Some sites just use strict anti-bot protections that can sometimes prevent downloads from working.)

    When I set network.proxy.type to 2 or 4, the PDF can be saved successfully, but “Find Full Text” doesn’t work.

    Zotero 6 uses the default setting of 5, but it can successfully save PDFs, and “Find Available PDF” also works.
