Upgrade StorageCan't open PDF in Zotero anymore
Hello,
I'm on Windows 8.1, and I'm using Firefox 35.0.1 and Zotero 4.0.25.2
I've been unable to open my PDFs via Zotero for about a week. At first it worked completely fine, I could double-click on the title of the file in Zotero and it opened the PDF (via the special reader that Windows 8 have).
And all of a sudden, seemingly without any reason (I didn't change any setting in Firefox or Zotero), it stopped working. Now, when I try to open a file in Zotero, all I get is a very long series of text in a new firefox tab.
Example for the beginning of one of my files :
%PDF-1.6 %âãÏÓ 736 0 obj <> endobj 745 0 obj <>/Filter/FlateDecode/ID[<10A3AF36E030D7CE9DBF6096B2AB486F><8E831A6F1D2AB645B74080F8C4CD8821>]/Index[736 60]/Info 735 0 R/Length 68/Prev 110378/Root 737 0 R/Size 796/Type/XRef/W[1 2 1]>>stream hÞbbd``b`vŒE ÂH°¨ˆ Á$|Ø„¨7hç``bd‰100’@°~'UÇ #þ38Ü0;j¤ endstream endobj startxref 0 %%EOF 795 0 obj <>stream hÞb```b`
I've been searching here and on google for a while, hoping that someone else had encountered the same issue, but I couldn't find anything.
Does someone have any idea about what's going on here ?
Thank you.

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
Can you open other PDFs in Firefox?
But thanks !
However, it's still a bit slower than simply double-clicking on the link, and this bug is still strange. And yes, I can open other PDFs in Firefox (the pdf links in google scholar work fine, for instance).
