Zotero Connector and APS conflicts
Hi,
The connector is working fine when extracting data from arxiv.org. However, I am having an issue with Zotero connector unable to extract citation info from APS sites. For example, consider this page
https://journals.aps.org/prb/abstract/10.1103/tmw1-vry7
It shows "An error occurred saving with APS. Attempting to save using COinS instead." and downloads an html version of the page. Previously it used to download the available pdf also (if not open access then the arxiv version of it). Above all, if there are some special characters in the title, it creates this raw html version that is directly written in the bibtex. I am using Edge browser on MacOs Sequoia v15.6, Zotero 7.0.26 with the latest connector. Here is the connector error log

In the Zotero status under general tab of the connector setting it shows "Zotero is currently available."
Please help.
