Upgrade Storageplugin scihub
Hi, I am new on this. Does anyone could help me with this? I'm not able to find a working plugin for scihub. If I copy from firefox I do not know how to paste it when I go to the plugin space, and if I download it, I can't see any .xpi.
Thanks for helping!

Zotero is based off Firefox and hence FF will think it's a plugin for itself. That of course won't work.
Go here and download(!) the .xpi.

Probably the simplest way to add sci-hub support is just to add a currently-valid sci-hub URL to the list of resolvers for Find Available PDF (item must have DOI or URL, and can't already have a child PDF attachment, in order for that option to appear in the right-click menu ):

Zotero7-scidb aims to be similar to zotero-scihub, and may be the best plugin option ....

This plugin appears to just add sci-hub to the above resolver list. But it's not clear if it's currently working (and it may overwrite existing resolvers ?).

all the links I try to download I have a popup message: not able to download it because the file is damaged
I understand that the version 7 doesn't have still a working plugin, but I know some people are using it, how???
