Chadwyck Literature Online not working

I'm not able to save a link from Chadwyck's Literature Online using an address bar click. Here's a URL that's not working:

http://lion.chadwyck.com.proxy.library.ucsb.edu:2048/searchFulltext.do?id=R03621349&divLevel=0&area=abell&forward=critref_ft

I'm using Zotero 4.0.17.1, Firefox 26.0, and Bodhi Linux 2.3.0. All of my software is up to date.

I don't know how relevant this is, but my experience with Literature Online has always been that, even when the page has been fully rendered, it NEVER "finishes loading" -- the "loading" icon in Firefox's tab bar keeps spinning indefinitely until I hit the Stop button the browser navigation bar. (Which is one of the reasons why I really hate that site, but my library seems to think that it's a useful resource, to which they should subscribe in preference to sites that function better from a technical standpoint.) In any case, waiting several minutes and then hitting the Stop button causes the Zotero import icon to display in the address bar, and the tooltip text displays properly as "Chadwyck Literature Online."

Many thanks.
  • What search terms are you using, and what item are you trying to save? (That's a proxied and non-static URL.)
  • Whoops. I forgot there are no stable URLs there. Another thing I don't like about the site.

    The article is Patrice Rankine's "Passing as Tragedy: Philip Roth's <i>The Human Stain</i>, the Oedipus Myth, and the Self-Made Man." I found it through Google Scholar.
  • @Dan, I don't have access to the database, so I can't look into it.
  • I do when I'm at home - this will have to wait until the new year, sorry about that.
  • A translator fix is now up. Your version of Zotero will automatically update within 24hs, or you can update manually using the "Update Now" button in the "General" tab of the Zotero preferences.

    Any further problems let us know & thanks for reporting
