Zotero on Firefox would not sync with Zotero Standalone
Hi everybody,
I used to have no problem syncing zotero on firefox with zotero standalone. After saving an item on Firefox I would see it immediately in the STA.
Recently I reset my firefox profile and reinstalled zotero on firefox. All the item are in order in both places, but the sync does not happen immediately. If I want an item that I save in zotero on firefox to appear on STA, I need to 1) save the item, 2) open zotero on firefox, 3) push the sync button there, 4) wait a little. Only after that the item appear in STA.
How to repair it so that the sync become immediate as it used to be?
NB:
1) I made sure that sync automatically is on on both zoteroes.
2) Both zoteroes are updated.
3) There is no error message.

I also just want to make sure I understand the logic right. Why do I actually need Zotero on FF? Is it to be able to 1) save items from the internet and 2) insert citations and bibliography into Word? If I delete Zotero from FF and leave STA only, I will not be able to do 1) and 2), right?
