Saving books after update
Hi everyone,
Is anyone else experiencing this issue? I just downloaded the new Zotero update and the standalone app, since it no longer works on its own anymore in firefox. This is all a little inconvenient but my biggest issue is that very few websites are supported for export anymore. I can no longer export bibliographical information from google books, amazon, or any other book related website. I also had trouble exporting from regular websites. As we speak I can see that I could save the bibliographical information from this Zotero discussion page, but it is not available for much else. What is going on? These changes are making the app much more difficult to use. I am conducting major research and Zotero has always been a great tool for keeping my notes and bibliography in the same place, but I'm not sure it will be useful much longer if these changes are permanent. Please help.

I went through a few cites, Amazon let me save something, Zotero let me save something, but Google books is still not allowing me to save anything.

"If you only see a webpage icon, make sure you're looking at a supported site. If you're not sure, try a New York Times article or an Amazon product page." Which you tell me is not the case, since Google Books should be supported or this:
"In rare cases where you're seeing a webpage icon on all sites or saving is failing on all sites, there may be a problem with your translators. Select “Reset Translators” from the Advanced pane of the Zotero preferences (if applicable), and then do the same for the Zotero Connector. This isn't necessary as a regular troubleshooting step."
I do not see a "Reset Translators" tab in the standalone app but that is the only part of the app and I cannot find steps for how to get a debug ID from the connector. The connector says their are no errors. My successful save, as I explained was from Zotero, not from Google book. I kept clicking the website icon (which should have been a book icon but wasn't) in Google books with no effect.
