Upgrade StorageNot saving references into correct location
Hello,
I just switched to a new computer, and set up my Standalone Zotero. I am now using Firefox as my browser, rather than Chrome.
I click on the translator (on any website), it says "saving", but when I go back to my Standalone Zotero, I find that the citation was not saved there.
Instead, full PDFs (and presumably links) of the articles are stored in another location:
Local Disk (C):>Users>Menna>AppData>Roaming>Mozilla>Firefox>Profiles> vxfpxtd6.default>Zotero>storage
How do I get it to save the citations in my Standalone like it did on my old computer?
Thanks!

dstillmanZotero for Firefox and Zotero Standalone share the same data directory by default, but if you told it not to when you first installed it, you can change the data directory manually to point to the same place. (Choosing the Standalone location is probably better.) You'll know it's set up correctly because you won't be able to open Zotero Standalone and Zotero for Firefox simultaneously. Opening Zotero Standalone will send Zotero for Firefox into a lightweight "connector" mode similar to how the Chrome extension works.
