Zotero Plug In for Safari doesn't show

cacoo
Hey,

so my Safari PlugIn always worked and suddently disappeared today. I restarted my Mac and also updated it. The Zotero Plugin is activated in Safari Settings, but still doesn't show up in Safari next to the Search bar. Fyi, other Plugins (ex Notion) work and are shown. Does anybody know how I can fix this?

Thank you

    I'm afraid there's no other answer. The plugin gets registered by macOS, not by us, and if it's not working, that's a macOS bug.

    Make sure you have the latest version of macOS, delete the app from Applications, restart your Mac, redownload the app, and open the app. If the plugin doesn't appear in Safari after that, you may just need to use another browser with a more reliable extension framework. But this can almost always be fixed by following these steps precisely.

    ok thank you so much. I will try to reinstall Zotero. One question regarding that: Will reinstalling my Zotero delete my saved bibliography if I have it not connected to an account but it's saved on my PC?

    No, as it says there, your data will not be affected. (If you’re asking this, presumably that means you didn’t actually try the suggested steps yet, so I’m not sure why you told us they didn’t help…)
