Syn Error Message - What does this mean?

[Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80520013 (NS_ERROR_FILE_READ_ONLY) [mozIStorageStatement.execute]" nsresult: "0x80520013 (NS_ERROR_FILE_READ_ONLY)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/db.js :: Zotero.DBConnection.prototype.query :: line 145" data: no] [QUERY: REPLACE INTO settings VALUES ('account', 'userID', ?)] [ERROR: attempt to write a readonly database]

Thanks for the help, I am really frustrated that Zotero is not working. Charles
  • From your other message, I understand that you are using FF 64-bit. I suspect that is the problem. FF plug-ins/add-ons for that version seem to have different requirements than the 32-bit version. There is much discussion about this issue in the support fora of many other programs and also this Zotero forum (search for 64-bit or for Firefox 64).
  • no, I doubt this is 64-bit Firefox. This looks like a permission issue, either caused by missing write permissions to you Zotero data folder or by security software.
