ScienceDirect (no zotero icon in address bar)

sumostorm
I went to download a few articles on ScienceDirect today and found that the Zotero icon is not showing up in the address bar. I am trying to download the citation and the associated .pdf file article.

Details:
I am using Firefox with Zotero (not standalone). Firefox version 29.0.1 and Zotero plug-in version 4.0.20.2. Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

Example URL that is not working:
http://www.sciencedirect.com.ezproxy.massey.ac.nz/science/journal/01955616#

Zotero is working properly for articles on the NYtimes website, so I think this is a ScienceDirect issue.

I have followed all steps of Zotero's translator troubleshooting guide and it has not helped.

It does look like ScienceDirect has recently changed their page layout/format. Maybe this is the problem? I haven't used Zotero to download a ScienceDirect article for several weeks (it worked fine for me the last time I used it though -- a few weeks ago.)

I have tried uninstalling Zotero plugin and reinstalling. Did not help.

Let me know if you have any ideas.

Thanks.

    Interestingly, if you click on the link for an individual article from the above link I provided, Zotero is working just fine (icon appears and you can download the citation and .pdf)

    Example URL of an article link that works: http://www.sciencedirect.com.ezproxy.massey.ac.nz/science/article/pii/S0195561614000345

    A few weeks ago (and for several years) I've always been able to get a Zotero icon on pages like this http://www.sciencedirect.com.ezproxy.massey.ac.nz/science/journal/01955616# and select multiple articles for download simultaneously.

    Hopefully it can be fixed to get this functionality working again? It will be a real hassle if I have to go to each individual article page to download from now on.

    Thanks again.
