Firefox addon saves only as web page

martinahajickova
Hi!

I have a new laptop and... a new problem with firefox addon - whatever type of media I want to save firefox addon offers to save it just as a "web page". Chrome addon is O.K. (offers PDF etc).

My laptotp: Windows 10 64bit, Firefox 45.0.1, Zotero 4.0.296 (firefox addon).

Of course, I can change it later manually but that is not a solution.

Do not you have any idea how to "repair" it? Thanks in advance.

    which pages are you looking at in particular? PDFs just say "webpage" in Firefox, they still save as PDFs, so that's not an actual problem.
    So what we'd want is a page that saves as a webpage in Firefox but as something else in Chrome.

    Your are right, PDFs seem to be OK after saving.

    But for example http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1046/j.0016-8025.2001.00824.x/full zotero saves as a web page while I want to save it as an "article in a magazine" (it is my translation from Czech, maybe it has a little bit diffenent type name in English version). Before, zotero used to recognise the source as an article, showed an "article icon" and saved as an article automatically...

    Sorry for all, I will be better continue answer in Czech (my English is horrible)

    Mně se to ve Firefoxu ukládá jako článek v časopisu. Ukládal jsem to přes DOI i Wiley Online Library. Když rozklepnete šipku tak máte možnost vybrat jaký translátor se použije. Stejně tak ikona zobrazuje "článek" a nikoliv webová stránka.

    don't read czech, but the above works for me, so I'd like a debug output ID for reloading the page:

    Děkuju za odpověď, Libore. Mně se dříve také nabízela možnost uložit jako článek. Nyní však pouze jako web stránka (http://snag.gy/7RuSe.jpg).

    Kde se dá nastavit ten translátor? Možná je chyba v něm.

    Díky.

    @Dan -- could you check, please?

    Zkuste odebrat a znovu přidat doplněk.

    Could you open your Zotero data directory, open the 'translators' directory, make a ZIP archive of that directory (via right-click), and email the ZIP file to support@zotero.org with a link to this thread?

    You can then delete the ZIP file and reset your translators from the Advanced → Files and Folders pane of the Zotero preferences, which I believe should fix this.

    Dan, thank you very much. I installed firefox portable in the meantime - and zotero addon was working. Reinstalling the addon in my primary firefox did not work. Finally, your advice did help, it really was a problem with translators.

    And thank you all for your cooperation, I greately appreciate it.
