Upgrade StoragePubMed citation import starts but never finishes
Report ID: 232651217
Today (Nov 2014) for the 1st time, I experienced a problem with citation import from PubMed. As usual, I search for a publication (e.g. http://1.usa.gov/1p1pJI5), press the zotero button in the URL bar, the small yellow popup window appears in the Firefox Zotero drawer stating "Saving to [folder name]" without an article title though. It never finishes off, disappears after 5-10s, and the reference is not saved.
I tried the following to get this to work since PubMed is an essential for me.
- Updated Zotero (4.0.21 to 4.0.23), Firefox is already up to date: no effect.
- Tested other sites for import: PubMed Central (http://1.usa.gov/1EZVGm2) does not work either. Many journal sites on the other hand do work, e.g. http://bit.ly/14L99Df.
- I can exclude add-on interference since import works from some sites and I haven't installed any new add-ons for ages while import from PubMed has been working fine until a few days ago.
Anybody experiencing this problem? Any solutions?

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
You were spot on. I've repeated the procedure today and it works just fine. So, your suggestion that it's a problem with the NCBI's server was correct. Not a problem with Zotero.
All the best
