Upgrade Storagelatest firefox upgrade broke zotero
Since a couple of days the Firefox Zotero 5 add-on fails to add items from Google scholar to Zotero database. This apparently happens since the last Firefox upgrade:
[2017-11-22 12:39] [ALPM] upgraded firefox (56.0.2-1 -> 57.0-2)
The standalone Zotero 5.0.28 is loaded, and Zotero Status gives me Zotero is currently available. I am also logged in to zotero.org and checked that the entries don't get saved in the online database either.

rytis.paskauskasI upgraded the Zotero Connector 5.0.27->5.0.28. The NYTimes pages' test went OK, but the scholar.google.com failed. Then disabling NoScript and Privacy Badger fixed the scholar problem. I'd like to figure out a way to reintegrate the script blockers, especially since they used work together with Zotero just fine...

rytis.paskauskasNoScript creates problems. The only way so far is to disable it.
-
dstillmanYou've confirmed that the problem reliably comes back if you enable NoScript and goes away if you disable it?
-
rytis.paskauskasYes I did.
-
dstillmanThe Connector works fine for me with NoScript enabled with default settings.
-
rytis.paskauskasBreaks down after the upgrades. Do you have the up-to-date versions of NoScript and Firefox? Try it with v. 10.1.5.3, and 57.0-2, respectively.
-
dstillmanYes, it works fine.
-
dstillmanYou can try it yourself in a new Firefox profile, with just the Zotero Connector and NoScript installed.

bwiernikI just installed NoScript (10.1.5.5) for the first time (Firefox 57.0.1 on Mac). Items save from Google Scholar without issue. I wonder if your issue is related to a specific setting in NoScript. You could try to reset it to default settings or remove it and all of its settings completely, then reinstall it.

dstillmanedited December 5, 2017@rytis.paskauskas: Well, you're not actually using the latest versions, though. The latest Firefox version is 57.0.1, and the latest NoScript is 10.1.5.5. (And 57.0-2 sounds like a Linux package, not the official Firefox tarball, though I doubt that's the issue. Much more likely that it's a bug in one of the older versions you're running or a non-default setting.)

rytis.paskauskas@dstillman: A clean profile test went well. Thanks for the tip. It remains to figure out what's the screwy setting.

grbrI'm having the same issue with FF Quantum 57.0.2 (64 bits) and NoScript 10.1.6: Save to Zotero button is greyed unless I authorize page or disable NoScript. @rytis.paskauskas have you by any chance identified the "screwy setting"?

rytis.paskauskas@grbr: about:addons -> NoScript preferences -> Reset solved my problem.
