Zotero PDFs turning into gobbledygook
Hello there,
When I try to open PDFs I've saved into zotero in my browser, they appear to be translated into code or something. I can turn off the plugin (so that they open on my desktop), but I'd rather use the browser, as I find this very convenient. I don't know if it's relevant, but I'm using XChange PDF Viewer.
I looked through the previous discussions but couldn't find anything immediately relevant to my issue.
Thanks!

dstillmanIf you're still seeing this, try closing Firefox and (backing up and) deleting mimeTypes.rdf in your Firefox profile. (If that doesn't work, you can copy the file back in to restore your file handling associations.)
