Firefox Connector stopped working after 59.0.1 update

vincent_ca · March 19, 2018

Hi everyone,

I have an issue with the Zotero connector in Firefox. I noticed it by trying to save this item with the Cairn.info translator: https://www.cairn.info/revue-le-temps-des-medias-2018-1-p-62.htm. I have the same issue with all my other sources (Amazon, JSTOR, ...).

When I try to save, the popup says : "Saving to My Library ... An error occurred while saving this item. Try again, and if the issue persists see Getting Help for more information."

I went through the troubleshooting page but the issue remains. Do you have any idea ?

Report ID: 1684088131
Zotero version: 5.0.37

Thanks,

Vincent

[JavaScript Error: "First-Party Isolation is enabled, but the required 'firstPartyDomain' attribute was not set." {file: "chrome://extensions/content/ext-cookies.js"}]

A bunch of these in the error log. Either an extension or a change to cookie/privacy settings is preventing Zotero from saving.

I disabled all the other extension and set my privacy settings to "Remember history" but I have the same issue. What setting do you recommend?

A refresh from the Firefox website solved the problem : https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/

It seems that Zotero Connector doesn't work with First Party Isolation sadly. https://github.com/mozfreddyb/webext-firstpartyisolation

Can confirm the problem is with First Party Isolation. Going to about:config and setting privacy.firstparty.isolate to False solved the problem. Not ideal to disable it though!
