The file 'Zotero-LibreOffice-Plugin-3.5.12.xpi' is corrupt and therefore cannot be opened
I am using LibreOffice 5.3.1.1 on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. When I try to install the plugin into LibreOffice, it gives the message:
-----
The file 'Zotero-LibreOffice-Plugin-3.5.12.xpi' is corrupt and therefore cannot be opened. LibreOffice can try to repair the file.
The corruption could be the result of document manipulation or of structural document damage due to data transmission.
We recommend that you do not trust the content of the repaired document.

Should LibreOffice repair the file?
-----
The repair fails.
How do I get LibreOffice connectivity?

If you have Zotero Standalone, you don't need that file and can just reinstall the plugin into LibreOffice from the Cite pane of the preferences.
https://www.zotero.org/support/word_processor_plugin_installation
where it says, "LibreOffice
The latest version of the LibreOffice plugin for Zotero 3.0+ is 3.5.12 (tested up to LibreOffice 5.2.3.3).
Install LibreOffice Plugin 3.5.12 (Firefox extension)"
So according to this page, to *install the LibreOffice plugin*, I am supposed to download the Firefox extension. You can understand my confusion, no? I find the location of the "install extension into LibreOffice" well-hidden.
I successfully got the extension added.
The word processor plugins have always been bundled with Zotero Standalone, so in the upcoming Zotero 5.0, which will exist only as a standalone version, there won't be any need to install plugins separately.
Thanks.
