Better BibTeX plugin considerably slows Zotero 10

fjdiezguerra · 2026-09-04T09:29:03+00:00

After noticing a general slowdown in Zotero when performing tasks such as importing references and syncing online, I found that disabling the Better BibTeX for Zotero plugin restores Zotero’s normal performance.

I am using Zotero 10.0.1 and Better BibTeX for Zotero 9.0.63 on Windows 11 64 proff OS.

For problems with a plugin, you'll need to contact the plugin developer.

Hello @dstillman,

Thanks for letting me know. I’ll contact the plugin developer.

I also thought it was worth mentioning the issue here in case other users experience similar performance problems and find that temporarily disabling the plugin helps.
