Upgrade StorageWhy Isn't Zotero 7 Open URLs in Existing Browser Window?
Had Zotero 7 on my old laptop. Got a new laptop. Installed Zotero and set everything up the way I want. Firefox is my default browser.
The behavior when I click on a URL (reference URL, or actually *any* URL, such as help links in Settings, etc.) is weird. On my old laptop, it would open the URL in my existing instance of Firefox. On the new laptop it is opening some kind of sandboxed version of Firefox that is not attached to my main profile, doesn't have any Firefox plugins, search history, etc. Doesn't interfere with my main Firefox window, it is just completely independent.
Is there a setting this controls this behavior?
I notice that old laptop is running Zotero 7.0, new laptop has 7.0.11. I hope that this isn't an enhancement, or at least that there is a setting that can control it. I kind of hate the new behavior.
