How to avoid to automatically generate the `Extra` field

zszhong
I found that when inserting a new reference into the library, Zotero would generate some texts in `Extra` field of that reference. The texts might be `00000` or '00005', and so on. And when using LyZ to insert the reference into a LyX document, the generated pdf processed by bibtex will contain the `Extra` field, which is not needed and might cost some paper space. So, is there any way to remove those `Extra` field for each reference?

Thanks in advance!

    Those numbers come for the zotero scholar citation add-on that you have installed.

    @adamsmith thank you very much for comments!

    I use the Zotero plugin in Firefox and it seems no other scholar citation add-on is installed. And Zotero can automatically recognize the webpage and select the best citation style (e.g., Arxig.org or IEEE.org), and then insert the reference into the library. This is very convenient. But I don't want it automatically add the 'Extra' notes. Currently, I manually delete those notes generated automatically. But this is absolutely not the best solution.

    Zotero really doesn't write those numbers into Extra.
    I'd be very surprised if you didn't have https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/zotero-scholar-citations/ installed either on this computer or another one that syncs to it.

    @adamsmith Oh, it seems the plugin is installed... But I remember I have installed it once, but I manually removed it. Maybe the syncs record this and reinstalled it to the Firefox.

    Thanks very much!
