Pdf journals / attachedments does not open in Zotero

Ellsworth01 · January 25, 2016

Good day,

I am trying to save and open Pdf documents in Zotero in firefox. I could do it with no problem, when i tried doing it last week the system was giving me an option to save the document in Adobe and open it there. Even with the new docs if I want to download it want me first to save in Adobe then I can import from there. In the past I could save directly from firefox to Zotero.

Is there anything I am doing wrong.

Please revert. I am busy finalising a paper and it is not working for me.

Regards,

Ellsworth Jonathan

Could you be more specific as to what exactly you're trying to do and what's happening?

I think this is about the Firefox download dialog for PDFs? If so, Zotero inserts itself in the default download dialog Firefox uses for PDFs. You can get the old behavior back using the application settings for PDFs in Firefox, which you will find under about:preferences#applications (paste into URL bar & press return) or by going to Preferences --> Applications.
