Firefox Zotero Connector deletes existing tags

c-bg
Hello everyone,
Thanks to the developers & contributors for creating this excellent tool.
I'd like to contribute a bug report.

Observed behavior:
When I use the Zotero connector for an item that already exists in the library, the Zotero connector *deletes* the tags of the existing item.
Currently, to avoid this, one would have to mentally keep track of what items are already in the library. I have not found other fixes to this problem so far.

Expected behavior:
Instead, I'd have expected that Zotero Connector either
a) warns me about adding a duplicate (and the risk of overwriting existing tags), or
b) shows the existing tags (or simply the full existing collection entry).

Software versions:
Zotero connector: 5.0.77
Zotero: 5.0.94
OS: macOS

    This is some sort of misunderstanding. Adding an item has absolutely nothing to do with items already in the library. There's simply no connection.

    Thanks for the prompt answer.
    Sorry, my bad, I now see where I went wrong :)
