Snapshot - "the attached file could not be found"
I have "automatically take snapshots" selected in my preferences. I recently used the "newspaper" symbol in the browser bar to enter a newspaper article (from the NYTimes)-- it populated the info nicely, but when I click on the snapshot I receive the message "the attached file could not be found". Same problem if I delete the snapshot, then browse to the page and "attach snapshot of current page" -- resulting attached snapshot can not be found...
Ideas, help?
Thanks.

The strange thing though is that there are some past articles of Asahi I had previously saved, whose snapshots Zotero had properly saved. I wonder if this has to do with a certain advertisement or script that is being displayed on the website and which generates some problem when it gets blocked by AdBlock.
I only disabled that one filter (AdBlock still enabled in Firefox) and Zotero seems to work fine again. I'm not sure if this filter is the only one that conflicts with the Zotero's snapshot capturing feature, but I hope I can avoid this issue by simply leaving this filter disabled.
UPDATE:
With the NY Times article I tried, disabling the filter "/googleads." seems to help circumvent the issue.
Zotero really should indicate that it had a problem saving the snapshot.
I understand that this is a tricky thing to fix, but claiming to save something when you don't is really bad, and potentially awful PR. If someone tries Zotero, thinking that it will save all this content, but doesn't, they will not be happy.
Also, the problem seems to be with a very popular add-on (Adblock), and not some subtle interaction between obscure add-ons; it seems reasonable for Zotero to play nicely with the quirks of popular add-ons.
