As soon as the connector is disabled, the content loads without issue.

1 refers to the extension restarting, then the other is:
Uncaught (in promise) SecurityError: Failed to read a named property 'document' from 'Window': Blocked a frame with origin "https://ebookcentral.proquest.com" from accessing a cross-origin frame.
I contacted Proquest about it and they said to just disable the extension if I want to see full-text for EPUB. Modifying the site data permissions for the extension also works.
I work for a university library and this is going to be confusing to explain to users. Is there a fix in the works? Is this something Zotero needs to fix, or Proquest?
Thanks!
