Zotero browser plugin - please add DOI wand (add item by identifier)
I have now found out about the sad loss of Zotero plugin functionality for Firefox, and will continue to use Zotero locally on my desktop instead.
Thank you for all your hard work Zotero team!
I would like to make some use of the connector plugin, but don't find it's current functionality useful. If it is possible, I can say as a user, that if the new Firefox connector could incorporate the amazing "add item by identifier" functionality that it would once again become useful to myself and probably other users. (many academics like to add multiple DOI's at a time while doing their searches)

I will definitely continue to use the desktop version in the way you recommend, and delete the browser plugin entirely. Since in my case, I exclusively work with large lists of DOI's as opposed to 'one-shot' page grabs.
I'm just mourning the loss of a good thing I suppose. But still a large supporter and fan of Zotero.
Cheers.
That might not be wholly correct. You still had a local Zotero running, just that it was working within the confines of Firefox. A few people only use the Zotero website, but that is greatly restricted in functionality and I assume that is not what you were doing.
That's a good point about the install. Yes, I had one look at the website version, and knew that it wouldn't quite meet my needs. I am really enjoying the look of Zotero 5.0 desktop. I think I will be ... ok!
(Also, in case you aren't aware and it might be useful, you _can_ use the connector to import all DOIs you see on any given page using right click on the connector icon --> Save to Zotero (DOI))
