HELP, Zotero doesn't work on Safari 14!

stone804 · September 17, 2020

My computer auto-upgraded to Safari 14 and Zotero isn't able to connect to the server, I've tried everything to try and see if it's being blocked by some "new" setting, but it's approved under the extensions with no limitations.

PLEASE make an update to fix this! I have an annotated bibliography due and I need Zotero!

Thank you!

@stone804: The beta version of the Zotero Connector works in Safari 14 the same as it has in Safari 13 for the last year, as a Safari App Extension bundled with the Zotero beta. If you're not comfortable running beta software or are having trouble, you should use the release version of the Zotero Connector for Firefox, Chrome, or Edge.

We're still working on a WebExtensions version of the Zotero Connector for Safari 14, and that won't require a beta version of Zotero. Apple didn't provide any warning on the Safari 14 release, but we hope to have something soon.

Thank you! I don’t understand but it suddenly works, the icon also changed, it used to be a Z now it’s a book. Weird. Anyway it’s working now, I’m not sure what was happening maybe it just needed to be restarted to fully function? I’m sorry if I caused any drama on the forum.

Hello @dstillman! I was curious if you had an update for when the WebExtensions version of the Zotero Connector for Safari 14 will become available. Thanks for all the hard work!
