Upgrade StorageZotero Connector keeps showing "Add citation style" prompt on every page in Edge browser
Hi everyone, sorry to bother you, but I'm running into a very frustrating issue with the Zotero Connector in the Microsoft Edge browser and would really appreciate your help.
Recently, every time I open any webpage in Edge, the Zotero Connector automatically opens a tab that says:
"Add citation style to Zotero?"
[Cancel] [OK]
This happens for every single webpage, and I have to manually click "Cancel" each time in order to access the page normally. It has made browsing very inconvenient.
Here’s what I’ve already tried:
1) Uninstalled and reinstalled the Zotero Connector;
2) Changed the site access settings for the extension;
3) Checked Edge advanced settings and Zotero desktop preferences;
4) Ensured the Zotero desktop app is running properly;
The only workaround that partially helps is setting the Zotero Connector’s permissions to “On click” or limiting access to specific sites — but this disables the automatic saving feature, which I rely on frequently for my research work.
Some of my colleagues have experienced similar behavior, so I wonder if this is a recent bug or regression in the Zotero Connector. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is there a way to prevent the "Add citation style to Zotero" prompt from showing up on every page?
Thanks a lot in advance for any help or suggestions!

I'll try updating Edge now to see if the problem goes away. Will report back shortly.
Thank you so much for pointing that out. I really appreciate your help! Also thanks to everyone here for your support — it’s great to have such a helpful community!
We'll roll out a fix for this shortly, but anyone running into this should definitely update Edge and make sure they're receiving automatic updates (which include security updates).
