Installed Sierra on one of my machines. What worked perfectly before no longer works.
I have tried multiple translators on multiple sites and I am unable to import anything.

Translators are detecting but not downloading anything. Here is a video.

dstillman

[JavaScript Error: "Zotero.DB.query is not a function" {file: "chrome://preventduplicates/content/preventDuplicates.js" line: 79}]

Uninstall that plugin.

That was the problem. Everything is fine.

@Dan%20Stillman -- I added a big warning to the webpage. I think there are few enough users for this to not be a problem, but I'll keep an eye out -- I assume there's some way I can for disable the add-on for a given Zotero version.

I'd like to add my vote as a regular user of this plugin. Hope we can find a way to make this work in Z5.0 or even better, have this as native functionality. I much prefer preventing a duplicate versus merging or deleting them post-addition. With large libraries and multiple incoming sources, it is almost impossible to remember if the item already exists.
