Upgrade StorageInconsistency between Standalone and Firefox's Zotero
Hi all,
I am experiencing a problem with style consistency between my standalone version of Zotero and Firefox's.
My data directories between the two versions are shared, therefore that's not the cause.
This is the inconsistency I see when referencing in a word document (through word plugin), or exporting from Zotero, or quick drag and drop in any document.
The style is an up to date Chicago 16th full-note.
Standalone:
Lazzarato, Maurizio. “Neoliberalism in Action: Inequality, Insecurity and the Reconstitution of the Social.” Theory, Culture & Society 26, no. 6 (2009): 109–33.
Firefox:
Lazzarato, Maurizio. ‘Neoliberalism in Action: Inequality, Insecurity and the Reconstitution of the Social’. Theory, Culture & Society 26, no. 6 (2009): 109–33.
Issue: the quotation marks for the journal article are different. In Standalone they are double quotation marks (“...”) and they come AFTER the punctuation mark, whereas via the Firefox's Zotero they appear as single quotation marks (‘...’) and BEFORE punctuation.
Another example.
Standalone:
Gordillo, Gastón. “World Revolution Z.” Space and Politics. Accessed February 12, 2014. http://spaceandpolitics.blogspot.ca/2012/12/world-revolution-z.html.
Firefox:
Gordillo, Gastón. ‘World Revolution Z’. Space and Politics. Accessed 12 February 2014. http://spaceandpolitics.blogspot.ca/2012/12/world-revolution-z.html.
Issue: in addition to what I have described above (quotation marks and their position), for articles or pages that require an interned address, the format of the date is different ("February 12, 2014" and "12 February 2014").
I think it depends on something like a US standard (standalone) and a UK one (firefox), for it would explain both issues, as in fact the UK academic standard usually requires single quotation marks for almost everything (direct quotes, journal articles, and so on).
Can someone tell me why this happens?
Thank you in advance for your time.
Best,

Best,
The style is consistent between the Standalone and Firefox's Zoteros, and the standard exported is the first one:
Gordillo, Gastón. “World Revolution Z.” Space and Politics. Accessed February 12, 2014. http://spaceandpolitics.blogspot.ca/2012/12/world-revolution-z.html.
The only difference I can think of between the laptop I am writing from (and from which I noticed the inconcistency issue of the previous message) is that the OS is here in Italian, in English on the other laptop.
Yet, Zotero is in English on all my devices and plugins.
Thanks
You can switch the behavior/language of bibliographies following these instructions:

I am actually thinking of leaving different standards for the UK and US versions on Standalone and firefox/Z so I leave my options open (some journals or publishers need a UK standard, etc.).
Thank you!
