JS error prevents PubMed etc. import?

ChristianR
I'd like to report a strange error which may blocks the import from pages:

error report 2061863716

[JavaScript Error: "Die Zeichenkodierung des HTML-Dokuments wurde nicht deklariert. Das Dokument wird in manchen Browser-Konfigurationen mit verstümmeltem Text dargestellt, wenn das Dokument Zeichen außerhalb des US-ASCII-Bereichs enthält. Die Zeichenkodierung der Seite muss im Dokument oder Transferprotokoll deklariert werden." {file: "http://www.isogg.org/tree/ISOGG_HapgrpJ.html" line: 0}]

The above error report is in german and complains about the missing character-encoding on this web page.

    some additional helpful info:

    Win7x32, Portable Firefox 24, Zotero 4.0.12 extension

    this error report maybe is more on target of the topic: id 547795598

    [JavaScript Error: "Overwriting translator with same filename 'Galegroup.js' in Zotero.Translators.save()" {file: "chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/translation/translator.js" line: 391}]

    [JavaScript Error: "Overwriting translator with same filename 'ProQuest.js' in Zotero.Translators.save()" {file: "chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/translation/translator.js" line: 391}]

    That's a harmless Firefox error. Are you actually experiencing a problem? If so, provide an example URL and a Report ID after trying to save.

    There are a lot of file access denied messages in your error report, though, which indicates a problem with your Zotero data directory. Check the permissions in that directory. (The errors are about the 'styles' subdirectory, but there might be problems with other files as well.)

    Thank you Dan!
    I have found also http://www.zotero.org/support/troubleshooting_translator_issues

    Sorry to have posted early. I have not used Zotero Translator function for a long time and I see there could be many reasons why the icon is not showing up.

    I probably will try to install a fresh Firefox Portable and then try arround to see if the existing portable environment has problems.

    It indeed looks like it was a Zotero data directory problem. I have now re-created the data directory with Zotero Sync Server and then also in the "old Firefox" the import icon did show up again even having Cookie Monster active.
