zotero 3.0.14 firefox 19.0 google scholar

cdseas
I recently upgraded to firefox 19 and now I can't add citations to my library. The icon in the url window is there and it brings up the list of papers, but when I click on one and click ok button, the little window in the library pane stays blank and nothing is added.

I'm on a retina mbp w/ osx 10.8.2

any help would be appreciated as i'm in proposal crunch mode...

    Is that a google scholar specific problem or does it also not work e.g. here:
    http://www.amazon.com/Theory-Moral-Sentiments-Adam-Smith/dp/1619491281

    If it _does_ work on that site, please provide a sample URL for a google scholar search you're using as well as a debug ID for a failed import attempt:
    http://www.zotero.org/support/debug_output

    If it doesn't work, just the debug output for the amazon.com or the google scholar page will do.
  • cdseas
    works at the amazon site
    debug ID is D350779519
    scholar url is:
    http://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=einstein+general+theory+of+relativity&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C22&as_sdtp=
  • adamsmith
    Dan - anything in the debug?
    cdseas - make sure those items aren't actually added, but just not in the collection you have selected. i.e. sort your entire library by data added and see if they aren't there after all.

    They aren't added. The little window normally shows the citation but it stays blank.

    Interestingly if I dont use the zotero icon in the url, but instead click on the "cite" link below the paper I want in the google scholar results main window and select a format in the popup window and click on import to endnote, it puts it into my zotero library fine, including showing up in the little zotero window in the library pane.
    so I'm doing it that way until you guys can figure out what's going on...
    thanks.

    yes. I saw that post and tried it. but still doesnt work.
    I have all cookies disabled, as I always have in the past.
    the log says if wrote cookies...where are they located and how do I delete them, as per your above link item 9
  • dstillman
    You can remove individual cookies from the Privacy pane of the Firefox preferences.
  • adamsmith
    I'm not sure I follow - do you have the show bibtex enabled?
  • cdseas
    yes, did that. interestingly, in google scholar settings, if I choose "show links to import citations into" "endnote"

    Then I can just click on the "Import into EndNote" link below the paper I want in the results window of GS and it puts it into zotero library no problem. It seems to be just the little zotero icon and zotero popup selection that's not working for me.

    Thanks for your help.
  • cdseas
    actually the little zotero icon works fine as it gives me the popup window with list of papers. but when I click on a paper listed in that zotero popup window and click ok, it does not put it in my library and the little zotero window in the library pane stays blank.

    I recall having a problem similar to this once before and you said at the time that zotero was not yet working with that then latest verion of firefox.

    I have all cookies disabled, as I always have in the past.
    Not sure exactly what you mean by disabled, but Google Scholar translator requires cookies to be enabled.
    interestingly, in google scholar settings, if I choose "show links to import citations into" "endnote"
    unless google scholar changed how they handle sessions (url?), sounds like your cookies are actually enabled. Instead of selecting endnote, see if switching to bibtex makes Zotero work.

    I just developed the above problem. I am running FF20.0.1.

    I get a message saying
    Opening scholar.enw.
    You have chosen to open scholar.enw. which is a enw File (201 bytes) from http://scholar.google.com
    What shold Firefox do with this?

    I have reset my settings, cleared my cookies, and grumbled a lot.

    Thanks a lot.
    Any ideas?
  • adamsmith
    Why not just use the URL bar icon?
  • akinto2
    It's not there any more.
    It's also not there on Amazon.
  • adamsmith
    update zotero from zotero.org/download
  • akinto2
    I did. I can't open Zotero, but I couldn't do it tonight before I upgraded. When I click on the Add Ons tab, got to Zotero 4 options, FF hangs and needs to be rebooted from the Windows 7 task manager.
  • akinto2
    Also my Zotero icon keeps disappearing from the add-on bar.

    start a new thread then, this has nothing to do with google scholar.
