Upgrade Storagezotero via vpn
Hi,
I often use zotero in firefox via a VPN connection, in order to get access to papers via my university's network.
This used to work fine, but for reasons unknown to me doesn't work anymore. (nb: When running zotero not via VPN, everything works fine.)
I can open Zotero in the browser, can see my library (which is located on my hard drive). When I try to download a pdf into my zotero library, the pdf appears in the library. However, when I click on it, I get the message: "the attached file could not be found. It may have been moved or deleted outside of Zotero.'.
Also, Zotero shows the following errors warning (Report id: 358402795):
[JavaScript Error: "Error: Not allowed to define cross-origin object as property on [Object] or [Array] XrayWrapper" {file: "chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/translation/translate_firefox.js" line: 462}]
[JavaScript Error: "NS_ERROR_XPC_NOT_ENOUGH_ARGS: Not enough arguments [nsIWebBrowserPersist.saveURI]" {file: "chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/attachments.js" line: 356}]
[JavaScript Error: "TypeError: req.sendAsBinary is not a function" {file: "chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/sync.js" line: 1803}]
[JavaScript Error: "TypeError: this._editor.getContent is not a function" {file: "chrome://zotero/content/bindings/styled-textbox.xml" line: 200}]
Any suggestions on possible cause of the problem and how to fix it would be much appreciated.

aurimasWhat version of Firefox and Zotero are you using? Make sure you're up to date and not using a beta/alpha version.

dennis.cardoenThank you, updating zotero did solve it. Apparently the auto-update didn't work when using the browser via vpn.

zuphilipI am quite sure that your issue is unrelated to VPN. I use Zotero with VPN for years and haven't had any problems. It is actually much more stable than any proxy solution.
