firefox connector problem?
Hi,
Looking at forum entries it appears that at least for the chrome connector if I am at some hypothetical web site e.g.
paper.stuff.com/file.pdf
I can click the connector button and it transfers file straight to zotero (and if it finds the doi, hopefully pulls in the ref info as well)
for a few different sites I have attempted, this has not worked.
is this a firefox problem, or do I have a local problem, or do I misunderstand the capability of the connector?
And if I misunderstand, I think this would be a nice feature so that I don't have to separately save, then drag in
thanks
Michael

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
Actually, nothing happened. Certainly no popup, no checkmark or X, nor was anything captured
and i believe the following problem occurs for both chrome and firefox. lets say I have an html file that is local, not an external url/webpage. e.g. file in url box reads as
file:///directory/fname.html
it seems that the capture function wont grab it.
If the connector is not designed to do that, it would be a nice feature. Some conferences no longer issue a pdf of the abstract, but an html file. Pulling the abstract from the distribution, not a website, would be helpful

On the other hand, local file URIs won't work -- browsers don't allow add-ons access to those for security reasons.
