Problems after switching browser from firefox to chorme

I have a mac and work with the zotero standalone programme for mac (version 4.0.29.15). I used to use firefox as browser when I downloaded papers. I decided to switch to chrome as browser and installed the zotero plug-in. But whenever I click on it to download a paper, I can see a pop-up window that the information (reference, pdf, snapshot) is downloading. But it appears that this is not really the case, because when I open zotero I can't find the dowloaded reference/article.
Do I have to reinstall the zotero standalone programme when I use a new browser? I'm hesitant to do so, because it means loosing all the articles I have downloaded so far. I'd be very grateful for any information on how to make zotero standalone work with chrome.
  • This may be a stupid question, but do you have Zotero Standalone running while saving articles with Chrome? If not, they will be saved directly to your online Zotero account.
