To recap, this error occurs using Google documents in Firefox but also in Chrome, and whether the document is saved as .docx or .odt
[JavaScript Error: "WebSocket connection closed: 1006 "]
[JavaScript Error: "The connection was refused when attempting to contact wss://stream.zotero.org/."]
Can you reproduce this with a smaller version of the same document? Say if you cut your original Google Doc to a couple of pages? If so, can you share the cut-down failing version with support@zotero.org?
To be clear, the problem persistently occurs whether I download as .odt or .docx.
