Temporary disappearance of the safari connector of Zotero beta for Mac

The safari extension temporarily disappears and can not be found anywhere in "preferences". It appeared again only after I had deleted and reinstalled Zotero beta version.
At first I thought it was because the new Safari 14.1.2 permanently limited the use of many extensions, but since the extension reappeared after reinstalling the app, I guess this may be a bug within Zotero beta itself.
  • From the support page:
    Due to an Apple bug, there's currently an issue where you may need to delete the Zotero beta app from Applications and redownload it after an app update to restore the Zotero Connector functionality in Safari. It may also be necessary to restart your computer in between deleting the app and redownloading. Note that you can continue to use the production version of Zotero on a daily basis if you so choose — the beta app simply needs to be installed in Applications (e.g., as “Zotero Beta”).
