Firefox connector now only imports as webpages

laurence80386 · July 7, 2016

Hello all

I use Standalone 4.0.29.10 along with the Firefox addon for the connector (also 4.0.29.10). Recently I've noticed that the connector only imports items as web pages, instead of as books, articles, cases etc. It's very frustrating because I then have to go through each field and input the information manually.

It worked perfectly previously, so I'm not sure if there has been a regression or something in 4.0.29.10.

Does anyone know what the problem might be? Let me know if I can provide any more information that might be helpful.

Thanks,

L

Try resetting your translators from the Advanced → Files and Folders pane of the Zotero preferences.

If that doesn't help, we'll need an example URL where it doesn't work and a Debug ID for the page load.

Nevermind, I solved the problem! I had e10s force-enabled in Firefox beta -- disabling it fixed the issue.

PS thanks for the superquick reply Dan!

Well, that's hardly a *solution* to the problem. I would like to use e10s, and I would like to continue using Zotero as well...

Is there any chance that this features works also in e10s in the future?

I've since migrated back to Chrome because e10s is taking so long to be implemented.
