Error while trying to generate a bibliography

Report ID:1818411526

Hello,
I exported my references from reference manager to Zotero since I have changed from a Sony to a Mc. However, I cannot generate any bibliographies from Zotero. When I click/control, then Zotero preferences, I have errors all the time and I cannot do anything. I have generated a report ID (Report ID:1818411526) and I would greatly appreciate your help because right now I am stuck and do not know what to do.
Many thanks!

Can you be more descriptive about what you are doing and provide the full error message?

Many thanks for your response.
I go to my library, select a reference, click right and select zotero preferences and a screen of error appears saying:

Zotero standalone is currently unavailable

then

Java script errors: "undefined"is not an object
Java script errors: "undefined"is not an object
Java script errors: "undefined"is not an object
Java script errors: "undefined"is not an object

When I open Zotero in firefox, I do not have the option of zotero preferences.

Your advice would be much appreciated!
Many thanks

It sounds like you're using the website? If you want to create bibliographies, at the moment, you need to install and use Zotero Standalone.
