Upgrade StorageWrong: Firefox 67.0.4 lists zotero as legacy, 'deactivated'
The post below (which I just posted) is wrong.
After getting upgraded to Firefox 67.0.4 (released June 20, 2019), the zotero extension was deactivated. Mozilla listed it as a 'legacy' that does "... not meet current Firefox standards." Mozilla's website did not show a replacement. However, from https://www.zotero.org/download/connectors I was able to reinstall the zotero extension and it works correctly. There appears to be a problem with firefox and extensions, but zotero does still work. I am relieved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Firefox 67.0.4 (released June 20, 2019) no longer supports the zotero extension. It lists zotero as a "Legacy Extension" and states "These extensions do not meet current Firefox standards so they have been deactivated."
Does anyone know of a way around this? I don't know if I can roll back to an older version of Firefox. Firefox has gotten aggressive about pushing updates.
Is there any hope of a new zotero extension that meets firefox's new standard? And/or is there another browser that supports zotero and runs on linux.
thanks

bwiernikHow exactly are you trying to install the Zotero Connector for Firefox? It definitely is built around the current Firefox WebExtensions standard (for over a year).

bdxI successfully reinstalled it by clicking on the 'Install' link https://www.zotero.org/download/connectors. As far as I can tell, there's no problem with the zotero firefox extension. The only problem was firefox recognizing it after a firefox update.
