Zotero 5: Firefox plugin can't save PDF open in Firefox built-in reader
Firefox has a built-in PDF reader: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/view-pdf-files-firefox
But if I open a PDF like http://www.rochelleterman.com/ir/sites/default/files/keohane1988.pdf in Firefox:
- the plugin incoreclty detect the PDF has a web page (certainly because Firefox use JS to read pdf)
- if I click the button to save the PDF nothings append.

It works now.. but It was not before (and I checked the over texte it was "Web page with snapshot) I also tried to reload the page, etc. before posting the bug.
But now I'm not able to reproduce this issue anymore, strange.
I tried to create a debug ID but nothing is recorded (it's on the browser plugin side I guess). Nothings show up in the browser console. I try to debug the plugin (using the plugin debug console on about:debugging) nothing show up neither.
One of those bugs with no error message and that append randomly :/.

edit: works fine for me with that PDF and the 5.0 connector, too, btw.
So The Debug ID is D886312143 that record the following actions:
- Went on the tab with the PDF open in the build-in PDF reader
- Click on the Zotero Icon
