Upgrade StorageZotero 4.0.8 cannot automatically save pdfs from IEEEXplore in FireFox 20.0.1
Hi,
I just downloaded Zotero 4.0.8 for FireFox (not the standalone version) today and I really liked how it could automatically locate and download PDF files associated with a certain page in an online database. For example, when I visited the following page in ScienceDirect,
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0262885606002812
I could just click the small 'article' icon on the address bar and the PDF file is automatically saved. Everything is perfect.
However, when I tried the same thing with IEEExplore, I found that I cannot save the PDF file for ANY article on that site. For instance, it fails on this one:
http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpls/abs_all.jsp?arnumber=491627&tag=1
I checked the following:
1. When I hover the mouse on the small 'article' or 'book' icon, a small window pops up and says "Save to Zotero(IEEE Xplore)".
2. "Automatically attach associated PDF ... " in Preference -> General is checked.
3. I manually clicked 'Update Now' in Preference -> General to make sure the translators are up-to-date.
4. the Firefox version is 20.0.1(up-to-date)
5. OS is Win 7 x86 Ultimate SP1
and
6. I could access the PDF by clicking the "full-text as PDF" on the page above (through an on-campus license).
Can anyone please tell me what is going on here? I'm completely new to Zotero so maybe I misunderstood something altogether.
Thanks in advance.

This should definitely work, though it's certainly possible that PDF download fails on some sites, I'll take a look.
edit: yes, this looks like it's broken (since yesterday or so) I'll take a look asap.
Thank you for your attention and help. Yes, those are the URLs as I saw them. When I open the IEEEXplore link:
http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpls/abs_all.jsp?arnumber=491627&tag=1
on campus, the sign on top of the page
--------------------------
For Institutional Users:
Institutional Sign In
Athens/Shibboleth
---------------------------
would be replaced by something like:
--------------------------
XXXX University User
-------------------------
And I could directly access the PDF by clicking the "Full Text" button.
All settings of Firefox and Zotero are set to default. (Enable proxy redirection - checked; Automatically recognize proxied res - checked; Disable proxy redirection ... - unchecked).
Thank you very much!
Any further problems let us know & thanks for reporting
