Bug with Firefox plugin

GlobeCiter · April 22, 2015

For some reason the Firefox plugin does not sync my references.

It did show an error for it so I created a bug report which has the ID 1345479542

I am using the latest version of the Firefox plugin on the Developer Edition (39.0a2)

Dan will take a look, but note that issues with beta and alpha versions of Firefox are expected. We're happy if people test Zotero with those, you should just be aware that you can't necessarily rely on it to work. Generally, we'd also recommend running the beta version of Zotero with aurora and beta build of Firefox, though currently that has a pretty significant bug in the citation generation.

[JavaScript Error: "TypeError: req.sendAsBinary is not a function" {file: "chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/sync.js" line: 1804}]

Yes, that's fixed in the beta.

(And just to point out, this isn't a "bug" — this is due to a change in Firefox. As adamsmith says, you should be running the Zotero beta if you're running a test version of Firefox.)
