Upgrade StorageRIS files not going into collection, now there not going anywhere
w/FF 11.0, Win7 x64/sp1, Zotero Standalone 3.0.7
No additional icons ever appear in my browser's address bar, no matter what journal's page I'm on, and nothing in the addon bar at the bottom right. I checked the conflicts page and nothing I'm using is listed there.
Clicking on the Zotero link in the citation pages of journals used to open the dialog "You have chose to open "zotero-citations.ris"
What should FF do with this file?
I say 'used to' because after importing a few .ris files to ZT Standalone, and they were NOT going into the collection selected, on the next attempt to "Open with..." I clicked the Browse button and selected Zotero and checked the 'always' check box and now nothing appears in any Zotero collection.
Before setting the "open with" option, I had let Firefox save it to Zotero, and at least it was being saved into a new collection, although not to the collection that was highlighted, so I would have manually move every one.
Now that I selected FF to open with Zotero, I'm getting NOTHING.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

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.
You realize that when using Zotero Standalone with Firefox, you also need Zotero for Firefox installed, right?
Then, close Zotero Standalone for a moment.
Now, do you see a Zotero icon on this page?

(There's a more general question of how collection handling should work when items are saved from the connectors. I'm not going to get into that here, but we've been talking about some possibilities, with the basic idea being that the current mechanism, with no indication of where they're going, isn't great.)
adam and Dan, you've identified one problem:
I don't have the addon installed. I did at first, but nothing was happening, so I removed it.
Are there clear instructions somewhere that both are required?
Which should be installed first, or doesn't it matter?

"on the next attempt to "Open with..." I clicked the Browse button and selected Zotero and checked the 'always' check box and now nothing appears in any Zotero collection.
I don't know why that's happening, but you should be able to clear that setting from the Firefox preferences. I don't know why it'd be different on Zotero's end between manual and automatic opening, though—if anything that sounds like a Firefox bug.

Also, I don't know of any FF Preferences. There are the Options, but I don't see anything there related to Zotero.
Can you find it in your FF somewhere?
