Zotero doesn't work with RoboForm-Add-On
Hi
I tried using Zotero for the first time today. Cool tool!!
But it took me quite a while until I found out, that it only works if I deactivate the Add-on "AI RoboForm Toolbar for Firefox" (www.roboform.com). ;-)
Here's what im using:
WinXP
FF 3.0.1
Roboform 6.9.91
The URLs I couldn't access with RoboFrom activated were:
http://opac.nebis.ch/F
http://biblio.uzh.ch/F
http://aleph.unibas.ch/menu.html
I really appreciate *both* Add-ons so it would be great if they could both work at the same time (e.g. I log onto the library's page with RoboForm and find a book I'd like to save with Zotero).
Thanks
Phoebo

This discussion has been closed.
In the meantime, I've added RoboForm to our Known Issues page.
Thanks for answering so quickly!! :-)
I'll contact RoboForm about this and post their answers here.
"Most likely it is Zotero bug. I already reported how to reproduce the problem without Roboform http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/3910/ "
I also have a problem with using AI Roboform add-on together with zotero, but I'm not sure if it's the same situation.
My problem is when enabling both, I won't be able to capture any of the ScienceDirect articles, as well as the MIT Press Journals. 2 examples are:
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&_udi=B8JH1-4RDS49K-4&_user=56761&_rdoc=1&_fmt=&_orig=search&_sort=d&view=c&_acct=C000059541&_version=1&_urlVersion=0&_userid=56761&md5=cad42548037e2a3e12551cd205a16dd1
http://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/abs/10.1162/jocn.2009.21132?url_ver=Z39.88-2003&rfr_id=ori:rid:crossref.org&rfr_dat=cr_pub%3dncbi.nlm.nih.gov
The Error message is:
"Could Not Save Item
An error occurred while saving this item. Check Known Translator Issues for more information."
The odd thing is that all the other sites (eg PubMed) I tried all still working okay!
No problem with capturing. So I can't figure out why the combination will only cause problems on certain sites?
I'm using FF 3.0.3, Zotero 1.0.7, Vista, AI RoboForm 6.9.91
And also no problem occurs at all when using FF 2 (rest the same) on the same laptop PC with this combination.
I don't know if this information will help with identifying the main problem?
I really would love to use both Zotero and Roboform! both are great extensions!
