Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 127.0.0.1:23119

  • I too am having problems with install of 5. I on Firefox get the following message:-

    Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 127.0.0.1:23119.

    The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
    If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
    If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

    Firefox is accessing the web, I can do a google search, so yes is connected to web?
    The only thing it seems I CAN'T access is the Zoreto server.
    I am going to keep trying, but.... any other suggestions?
  • That's not about the Zotero server — it's about the Zotero Connector for Firefox connecting to the Zotero application, which you should have open.
