Upgrade Storagecan i use standalone and firefox plugin?
apologies if i'm re-treading old ground.
I'd like to try the standalone, but can i do so and then possibly return to the firefox version? Will changes that i make to my library be carried across, or will i screw up the database?

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.
The database also isn't upgraded, so you'd be able to downgrade to 2.1.10 again should it be necessary.
And if, say, i deleted an item in the standalone, and then 're-activated' the firefox version would that change be recognised?
Sorry for the basic questions!
In that case there is no need to disable the FF plugin, no. When the SA is open, the FF plugin works like the connectors in chrome and safari. You won't be able to open Zotero in FF as long as SA is running. Because they share a database, any change would apply to both.
This is still beta software, so you should make sure that you have regular back-ups (you should make sure of that anyway), but it's very stable and chances of any corruption are virtually zero.
*If you say no you'd have to completely separate databases, as if running Zotero on two separate computers. You can sync them etc. but I see little reason for that.
I shall go and install now (well, maybe in the morning...)
cheers!
