    D1289832857 for Zotero Connector 5.0.158 with Firefox 136.0.3 (amd64) may be a duplicate. For pages such as:

    https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41490290

    In D1289832857 I clicked OK (not Cancel), assuming that it would add the web page without the non-selected item. I had no idea that the item related to a DOI until after I worked around the issue.

    If not a duplicate, please let me know, I'll provide steps to reproduce.

    @grahamperrin: Not a related issue; not a bug. If you hover over the Zotero toolbar button on that page, you'll see that it's using the DOI translator. If you want to save as a webpage, right-click and choose Save to Zotero -> Web Page with Snapshot.

    I can see why you expected it to fall back to saving the page if you didn't select any DOI items, but that just isn't how the Connector works.

    We are planning to list the current webpage at the top of the select-items dialog when the DOI translator is being used so that it's always possible to save the current page without right-clicking, though.
