Safari connector on Mac

My Zotero connector flashes for just a millisecond when I click on the checkbox in safari settings>extensions but the little Z icon does not stay. I have tried absolutely everything short of uninstalling safari and reinstalling it.
I deleted Zotero and reinstalled it, I shut down my laptop, I restarted safari, I deleted all other extensions, I deleted the safari caches, what can I do now? I need Zotero for my research :(
  • What macOS, Zotero, and Safari versions?

    You should restart your computer after deleting Zotero from Applications, before reinstalling it.
  • MacOS 15.1.1
    Zotero 7.0.10
    Safari 18.1.1

    I also tried restarting my computer after deleting Zotero, it still doesn't work
  • Can you help me or not?
  • If you open Terminal from Spotlight, paste in this command, and press Return, what's the output?

  • Is there anything else I can do?
  • That output looks fine, so there's no obvious problem here. Try disabling all your other Safari extensions.

    You should also update to the latest version of Sequoia if you haven't yet.
