Zotero add on/extension has been disabled

jellytot · August 18, 2015

Hey all,

I'm after some help regarding gaining access to my library. I seem to have lost the Zotero icon in tool bar. It appears that the Zotero add on/extension has been disabled and I am required to "sign" to gain access. Can anyone shed some light on this problem or perhaps provide me a link to information to rectify this?

Thanks in advance

Kind regards,

Jelly T

I use the Standalone. I have the Zotero icon, but all it does is switch to Zotero standalone. Addons-Manager --> Extensions also has the following message "Zotero could not be verified for use in Firefox. Proceed with caution".

I suspect the fix has to come from the Zotero organization.

I figured it out. I clicked on the 'hamburger' icon (far right), then Add-ons, then the gray circle gear icon (top middle right), and lastly "Check for updates". The Zotero Add-on updated t the most recent version and it started working again.

@jellytot -- you're almost certainly using a beta version of Firefox.
