[Solved][Zotero 8 Beta][Safari] Snapshot of Substack page replaces every image with the favicon

OS Version: macOS Sequoia 15.5
Zotero Version: 8.0-beta.9+1469761f9
Safari Version: 18.5 (20621.2.5.11.8)
Connector Version: 5.0.181 from Zotero (As shown in Safari Settings > Extensions)

Example URL: https://paulkrugman.substack.com/p/exploiting-male-rage

Saving the above page with Substack translator, the snapshot is saved but lacks all images.

Saving the page with SingleFile directly gives an HTML file with all images.

EDIT: This only happens to Safari. It works for me in Microsoft Edge.

EDIT (2025-10-21): This is partially fixed by commit aae42b7b. Now every image is replaced by the favicon which happens to be the first image fetched by the Connector.

EDIT (2025-10-23): 8.0-beta.16+5b82a3838 has fixed this issue.

    I should have mentioned it seems to only lack image in Safari.

    It works for me in Microsoft Edge too.

    This should be fixed in the Zotero Connector bundled with the latest Zotero beta (as well as with Zotero 7.0.27).

    Saving the above page in Safari with Embedded Metadata translator, the snapshot is saved but all images are shown as the first image in the page, which is a low resolution rabbit.

    I have submitted a debug log saving the URL above.

    The Debug ID is D1491477952.

    It seems like indeed somehow all the images embedded as base64 in the snapshot has become the first image fetched in the debug log, which is the favicon.

    (It also fails with Firefox 144.0, Zotero 8.0-beta.14, Zotero Connector 5.0.185)

    Realized I had to restart Safari to get the new Zotero Connector loaded.

    Zotero Version: 8.0-beta.14+d1f478fc4
    OS Version: macOS Tahoe 26.0.1
    Browser Version: Safari Version 26.0.1 (21622.1.22.11.15)
    Connector Version: 5.0.185 from Zotero (As shown in Safari Settings > Extensions)

    Still the same problem.

    This should be fixed in the latest beta.
  • kisufl
