Twitter & Medium snapshots are completely broken + other connector issues

The Twitter translator saves snapshots that are completely broken: all that's saved is the side bar, the cookie prompt, an error message ("Something went wrong. Try reloading.") and a "Retry" button that does nothing

The connector also seems to have lost the Ctrl-Shift-S shortcut for saving the current page

It has been broken like this for a while. I could fix it by reverting my browser profile to an old backup, but it doesn't seem to work anymore. I guess it was a recent update of the extension that broke both features

Zotero version: 7.0.0-beta.83+066eda731 (64 bit)
Zotero Connector version: 5.0.128
Browser: Google Chrome 124.0.6367.202 (32 bit)

    Medium is also broken. If I save a members-only story reached through a Friend Link, I receive a snapshot of the paywall. Zotero Connector no longer saves what I see on screen and this is extremely concerning. Virtually unusable

    Stand-alone SingleFile (version 1.22.49) works, for what it's worth. That is, it would work if Zotero Connector didn't break it, sending it in an apparent infinite loop

    edit: I posted details here: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/465538/#Comment_465538

    Is there a way to downgrade Zotero Connector?

    Downgrading to 5.0.124 (unpacked debug build), unsurprisingly, fixes *all* issues (Twitter snapshot, Medium snapshot, Ctrl-Shift-S shortcut, SingleFile conflict), but it also downgrades the extension to manifest v2, which will reach EOL soon

    This will be fixed in 5.0.129 (awaiting Chrome store approval since yesterday). Sorry for the trouble.

    Excellent news, that's a huge relief. Thank you
