Issue with Standalone profile
I installed Zotero Standalone. Zotero Firefox was already installed. I chose to use the same library as Firefox. I'm on Win 7.
This page: https://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data
says where my Zotero data will be stored, but it wasn't entirely clear to me where it would be. I assumed it would install to:
C:\Users\<User Name>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<randomstring>\zotero
But there is also a default location listed as:
C:\Users\<User Name>\AppData\Roaming\Zotero\Profiles\<randomstring>\zotero
But the folder created was actually neither one:
C:\Users\<User Name>\AppData\Roaming\Zotero\Zotero\Profiles\<randomstring>.default\
Is this just a documentation issue, or did something strange happen during my install?

But on install Zotero would still create a profile folder for standalone (as you need to install add-ons for both versions). The location doesn't matter, so don't worry about it, but yes, I think the standard filepath on Windows has two Zotero's in it (though someone with Windows running should double-check before updating the doc)
