Zotero library missing
Hi
I recently upgraded to Firefox 33.0.2. on my Mac. After using it for a while, I realized Zotero was missing. I then loaded Zotero 4.0.23.1. However, once I started it the library was empty. I located my old Firefox folders and the Zotero folder is still there along with a zotero.sqlite file (7.1 mb), which I assume is my library. However, I can't figure out how to get this into the proper place. I have used the directions here (https://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data), but this is still not working. I can't get the right location for the folder. Are there hidden library files I don't see in finder? A little help here, please...

dstillmanMost likely the 7 MB zotero.sqlite file isn't actually in your selected data directory in the prefs. Otherwise it would definitely be used.

mytummyhurtsYes, thank you. The question is which files do I move? Where do I move them (what directory exactly)? How do I get them there? (I can't figure out the correct path. Is there a hidden "library" directory?) Thanks

dstillmanThis is all covered in the linked page. Nothing is hidden. If you're having trouble beyond that, you'll have to provide a lot more details about what exactly you're doing, what you're seeing, file names, file sizes, etc.
