Suppress Zotero Connector Installation Message
Hello,
My institution uses a heavily locked down and secure environment for research due to the presence of PHI so we prevent our users from installing software. We just updated Zotero to the latest version and now every time a user launches the application a web browser is opened prompting the user to install the connector. Due to the secure nature of the research environment, we cannot allow the connector to be installed. Is there a way to suppress this event and prevent the launch of the web browser with the message to install the connector?

in about:config (i.e., prefs.js in the Zotero profile directory, which is the same as a Firefox profile directory).Any other technique that worked as of Firefox 60 for changing default Firefox preferences should also work, but you'd have to research and test those.
Do you mean the default user template will need to have the Zotero prefs set so new users pick up the settings? How does this work if the profile folder has a random string as it's name?
Take a look at the files and I think you’ll understand.
