Updates to Settings Reverting Back with Restart

When I try to switch to light mode and close the app, it will restart in dark mode. This also happens when setting up Aria for AI integration with my API key.

I have Zotero on another machine (both Macs) and it updated fine when I changed settings and restarted the program.

I thought it was just an issue with the extension, but it seems more likely a problem with how it is installed on this particular computer. Any thoughts?

    If all settings are getting reset, something (file permissions, security software, etc.) is preventing Zotero from saving to the prefs.js file in its profile folder.
  • Thank you!!!! I found the prefs.js file and it was not letting me open it on my work computer. I just copied and pasted from my other computer where it was working and it allowed me to update my preferences and get the API key working.
