Connector not working in Firefox

buipet · May 3, 2018

It used to work perfectly. But for a while now, it has become more and more difficult to import articles using the firefox connector. It does not work with most article databases. I usually go through my university's proxy, so I tried to disable the proxy, but that didn't work either. Not even the reference information is imported. Nothing. I have reinstalled zotero and connectors many times, and tried on different computers. And it is not improving. Just tried on Chrome with this url (https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/0966369X.2018.1461075) and it worked. (Did not go through proxy, so I only got the reference information, not the article). So why is this not working on Firefox for me?

Thanks

Run through https://www.zotero.org/support/troubleshooting_translator_issues on Firefox then as they apply (probably 3-6, 9,10, 12)

OK. Thanks. I thought I had gone through all of these already. But the one I had not done as to allow third-party cookies. That seems to have been the culprit. I guess I have to find another way to deal with the sometimes annoying third-party cookies (advertising across sites like Amazon, facebook, etc.). Thanks for your help.

I think you can block/allow specific cookies

Thanks. I will try to figure which ones to allow. Thanks again!
