Google Books: Doesn't detect when opening from search (but does loading same URL)

Steps to reproduce:
Tested in both Chrome and Firefox connector
1. Go to https://www.google.com/search?tbm=bks&hl=en&q=smith
2. Click on the first search result

This isn't detected as a book.
However
Reloading the page does detect the book, as does navigating to the URL,
https://books.google.com/books?id=BH41DAAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=smith&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwijq73ThO3XAhVl7IMKHTXKBNkQ6AEIJjAA#v=onepage&q=smith&f=false
directly. Also works in Scaffold.

Firefox debug: D286154210
Chrome debug (slightly different?): D940370686
This seems like the translator doesn't fire at all?

    Potentially related, I've seen somewhat similar behavior for at least one other site (Eastview, which is subscription only. There search results don't detect but it's limited to Chrome and works fine in Firefox)
  • Zotero Connector 5.0.29 is out which should fix the problem.
  • fixed confirmed -- thanks!
