Upgrade StorageZotero connector translator issues - workaround found, but flagging for assistance
For the past couple of days, I've had issues importing new papers to Zotero using the Zotero connector in Microsoft Edge. I followed the instructions on the troubleshooting_translator_issues page to no avail, but I found a workaround. [error codes and other info from step 14 at the bottom]
Workaround: right-click on the Zotero connector icon. Click "save to zotero," then "embedded metadata" instead of the name of the publisher. Should import fine. (see photo)

dstillman Zotero TeamSorry about that — the latest Zotero Connector version broke saving via a proxy. This should be fixed if you update to Zotero Connector 5.0.197 from the Firefox Add-ons pane (Tools → Extensions and Themes). Thanks for reporting.
