Upgrade StorageWhere is a library stored?
Please excuse me if this is a stupid question.
I've not used Zotero for a few years, since I wrote the book of my doctoral thesis. I'm now writing a paper related to that, and thought I'd make a subset of the old bibliography to save having to create a new one from scratch and re-key all the citations.
Zotero was no longer in Firefox and LibreOffice (because of upgrades to both? or because of a hard disk crash a couple of years ago?) so I had to reinstall the add-ons. When I open Zotero my library is empty -- so where are my old libraries stored? How can I access them?
Also, when I used Zotero in the past, LibreOffice (or more likely then, OpenOffice) showed icons at the top for inserting citations in the text; these aren't there now.
I'm probably simply misunderstanding something very basic -- but can anyone help? Thanks!

Hard to say where exactly your old library is -- if you have a backup of your old harddisk, that might be it.
You'd have to likely re-install the LibreOffice add-on for Zotero:
