Dear Frank,
I've installed version 1.1.1.3 but it does not work for me. I switch back and forth between Title Case and Sentence Case but I do not achieve automatic capitalization of the first letter of Sub-Title. I've tested it with entries that do have capitalized Short Titles.
UPDATE: It also does not work in the Zotero standalone version.
(1) Test from a clean start of Firefox;
(2) The style does not apply text case to titles (obviously);
(3) The colon separating the title from the subtitle is not preceded by a space;
(4) The Short Title field is an exact match for the content of the Title field, up to the colon.
(With those settings, it works for me. There is a bug, but it is that the plugin does not disable or uninstall itself properly - it works "a little too well.")
If it still doesn't work after checking the steps above, let us know an exact title and subtitle that fails, and the version of Firefox that you have installed.
What do you mean by "clean start"? It still does not work at my work computer - Zotero standalone and in Firefox 40.0.3 .
A Title: Heuristics and Biases: The Psychology of Intuitive Judgment
A Sub-Title: Heuristics and Biases

Is there a way to find out whether your citeproc-js installed properly?
UPDATE: I just noticed that I had the version 1.0.9(?) installed too. It is now removed but it still does not work.
The reason for suggesting that is the bug that I noted above; the patch plugins do not currently clean up after themselves, so when you remove one, its effect lingers (the system does not restore the previously-installed processor).
I'll try to test with vanilla Zotero sometime soon - we have a guest in the house for the next couple of days, so it will be the weekend before I can get to it.
If I have misunderstood the thrust of this thread, I apologize.
I just installed the uppercase plugin and made sure all of the following was in order:
(1) Test from a clean start of Firefox;
(2) The style does not apply text case to titles (obviously);
(3) The colon separating the title from the subtitle is not preceded by a space;
(4) The Short Title field is an exact match for the content of the Title field, up to the colon.
But no luck.
This was the article I tried it with: http://eric.ed.gov/?id=EJ557144
Any help you can provide would be helpful.
If the text-case as well as the characters match up to the colon, and it's still failing, then I guess the next step will be to compare platforms and versions.
(Tested with Juris-M, but the behaviour should be the same there as in Zotero.)
