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In the Addon-Page of FF it says that the Zotero-Addons are outdated, but Zotero for FF is still working in this combination.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

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).
