Upgrade StorageCan't retrieve metadata for PDF: "An unexpected error occurred"
I installed Zotero 4 yesterday on Firefox 34. My Report ID for this issue is 1080985243.
"Retrieve Metadata for PDF" terminates in an error on all the PDFs I've tried. On some of them, the error is specific and understandable, such as "No matching references found", but on most, it's "An unexpected error occurred".
The debug output for one of the PDFs in the latter state ends with this:

=======================
It seems like Zotero was able to find the paper on Google Scholar, but then couldn't access the DOM or something. I do use NoScript, but this happens with NoScript and all other extensions disabled.
