Help to get to first base

gordonhk
HI
I am using MAC OS mountain lion
Just downloaded Zotero standalone.
I have also downloaded Firefox.
I don't see any connection between the two. i.e no icon in the address bar and no Zotero at the bottom of the page.
There is obviously some really basic thing I am missing.
Appreciate any help for this newbie

    If you want to use Standalone with Firefox you also need to install the Firefox add-on.

    Thank you adamsmith.

    Actually I don't mind if I use firefox or others. It also does not display the icon in the address bar when I use safari. So how can I best use the standalone.

    Perhaps,sticking with what I have, I would appreciate it if you could let me know how I can install the firefoxx add on.
    Thanks

    For any of the supported browsers that you want to use, you need to install the appropriate connector. You can download all of them from http://www.zotero.org/download/ They are listed under the big Zotero Standalone button. (Opera connector is not listed, but is available from https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/zotero-connector/)

    Thanks aurimas

    Done that.

    Still nothing.

    What I am expecting to see if the book icon appear in my address bar or the word 'zotero' to appear somewhere as per the instructions.

    Just to repeat. I have the Zotero application open.

    I have downloaded the connector.

    Where do I go from here?

    Should I uninstall Zotero and start again?

    Many thanks

    don't uninstall anything. Which connector did you download and did you install it? If, e.g., you're using Firefox, you should see Zotero installed under "add-ons"
