Firefox plugin recognizes PDF file as web page when open in firefox internal viewer
Hello,
the title says it all. For some pages, the connector plugin is not able to download the pdf-file properly. In these cases I download the pdf file manually. However, if I choose: "Open with Firefox" instead of "save file", the Connector plugin suggests to save as Webpage with snapshot.
Is there anything that can be done about this? Manually saving and importing a copy of file is tedious.
Cheers

Upgrade Storage
- Open it directly from the web in Firefox
- Download and open in Firefox
If you're able to get the website to do former, the Firefox Connector will be able to import it. Unfortunately, Zotero just can't work on File URLs pointing to your local disk, so if download and open in Firefox is the only option, then no, there's nothing Zotero can do about that.
