firefox connector problem?
Hi,
Looking at forum entries it appears that at least for the chrome connector if I am at some hypothetical web site e.g.
paper.stuff.com/file.pdf
I can click the connector button and it transfers file straight to zotero (and if it finds the doi, hopefully pulls in the ref info as well)
for a few different sites I have attempted, this has not worked.
is this a firefox problem, or do I have a local problem, or do I misunderstand the capability of the connector?
And if I misunderstand, I think this would be a nice feature so that I don't have to separately save, then drag in
thanks
Michael

Actually, nothing happened. Certainly no popup, no checkmark or X, nor was anything captured
and i believe the following problem occurs for both chrome and firefox. lets say I have an html file that is local, not an external url/webpage. e.g. file in url box reads as
file:///directory/fname.html
it seems that the capture function wont grab it.
If the connector is not designed to do that, it would be a nice feature. Some conferences no longer issue a pdf of the abstract, but an html file. Pulling the abstract from the distribution, not a website, would be helpful

On the other hand, local file URIs won't work -- browsers don't allow add-ons access to those for security reasons.
