Firefox Connector saving authors' names as "Lastname, Firstname" (single field)

TimKasoar
Recently, I've had a few issues when using the toolbar button in Firefox to save to Zotero that the authors' names are saved as "Lastname, Firstname" as a single field. This obviously causes problems when it comes to citing those papers.

I haven't been keeping proper track of which papers this affects (sorry), but I think it's anything from wiley.com. My most recent example was this paper: https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2664.12762

Note that this only occurs when using the translator from the webpage; if I use the 'Add item by identifier' button in the Zotero programme and enter the DOI, it correctly formats the names as "Lastname", "Firstname" (two separate fields). However, I prefer to use the connector as it's easier and includes the PDF.

Firefox 59.0.3 (64 bit, Windows 10)
Zotero Connector 5.0.37
Zotero 5.0.47

    This is now fixed for Wiley translator now — thanks for reporting. Your Zotero Connector should auto-update within 24 hours, or you can update manually by clicking Update Translators in the Advanced pane of the Zotero Connector preferences.

    Any further problems let us know & thanks for reporting.
