Zotero Addon for firefox being disabled

mkostura
The new update of firefox is disabling Addons that do not have signatures. Zotero, apparently, does not have a signature and is being disabled. A work around is to turn off the need for signatures in about:config. However, the better solution would be for Zotero to create a signed version of the addon for firefox

    All Zotero extensions are signed. Reinstall from zotero.org. Updates Not Detected may be relevant to you.

    I see nothing about updates in my Preferences windows. I am using the latest version of Zotero and I have reinstalled.
  • dstillman
    The linked page explains why you might not see updates, but as I say, you can reinstall from zotero.org.

    If Firefox is disabling Zotero, it's highly unlikely you have the latest version.

    If you can't get it to work, what version do you see listed in the Add-ons pane, if you click for more info?

    This worked for me, thanks!

    Next to the disabled notification there was a link to check for updates. I clicked that, an update to Zotero was found, and I was able to let Firefox install the update for me. After restart, I have Zotero back.
