Saving from google scholar in firefox/linux

kesinger

Hi, I've been using zotero successfully on osx/safari with the plugin, but I've been forced to switch to firefox and linux, and I'm totally stumped.

What I want to do is:
* Do a google scholar search for something
* Add a selection of the results, with bibliographic info and pdfs to my library

On safari, I can click the zotero icon which will bring up a checkbox of which results I want.

On firefox, I seem to have to right-click, which gives me two options:
* Create Web Page Item from Current Page
* Save Link as Zotero Item

For each result, google scholar has the title/author/blurb/etc on the left, and sometimes a pdf/html/etc link on the right.

"Create Web Page..." seems to only save the google search result. "Save Link", on the title/author/etc link saves the bibliographic info, but not the pdf. "Save Link" on the pdf saves only the pdf, with no other info.

I'm using the firefox plugin. I'm able to sync with and see my library.

I'm sure there has to be something simple I'm missing, but I can't figure it out.

You should see a folder icon at the right of the URL bar icon (the same icon that's on the left of the URL bar in Safari). Is that not the case?

Ha! Yes! There it is. Thanks!

(In safari there's a zotero icon in the toolbar that I've gotten used to clicking, I didn't even think to look in the url bar).

(Safari is actually the outlier here - it's in the URL bar in Firefox and Chrome)
