Snapshot Capture fails for FindMyPast.co.uk Genealogical Records.

RedCanoe2010 · January 1, 2018

I have been using Zotero for FireFox for many years to capture online, text-based transcriptions of genealogical documents. Since the change to freestanding Zotero and the Firefox connector, the snap shot is only sort-of captured... what I get seems to be a mish-mash of frames containing ads, navigation links, etc and with an unformated version of the text I am interested in away down several screenfuls toward the bottom. Snapshots of Ancestry.ca and FamilySearch.org and other sites seem to working as expected.

I could upload a snap shot taken some time ago (it works) and the same snapshot taken today (it fails) to show you the problem.

I would sure be interested in helping any way I can to solve this problem.

Thanks,
--Jim

Can you provide a specific link that fails?

Hi.

Here is a link: ( https://search.findmypast.co.uk/record?id=can/census/1901/00186174 )

The records at this link are free but, you will still need to have an account to go there, I think.

You can get a free 14 day trial here: https://www.findmypast.co.uk/Pay?isfreetrialrequest=true

Thank you,
