Upgrade StorageFirefox compatibility for Zotero 4.0
I am supporting Zotero at our University and recently I get quite a lot of support requests from people that find their Zotero for Firefox is not working any more - I guess this happens after they update their browser and loose compatibility.
But while for some people their Library seems to "disappear", others tell me they still can use Zotero 4.0.29 _after_ upgrading their browser - and others tell me Zotero "upgraded itself".
But sometimes Zotero 4.x still seems to work even after upgrading FF:
One Example:
OS: Win 7
FF: 56.0 (32-bit)
Zotero for FF: 4.29.23
Zotero SA: 4.0.28
In the Addon-Page of FF it says that the Zotero-Addons are outdated, but Zotero for FF is still working in this combination.
What is the Criteria that determines whether Zotero FF "breaks" after upgrading FF?
Regards,
Frank

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
Zotero 4 will no longer work on Firefox 57 (so a third possible reason for it breaking would be if people are on the beta release channel, which is always one version ahead).
