Cannot pull authors from new ScienceDirect site

Elsevier recently updated the ScienceDirect site. Now when trying to save citations from ScienceDirect, I get a "An error occurred saving with ScienceDirect. Attempting to save using Embedded Metadata instead." message, and the citation is saved without any authors.

Here is an example of an open access article:

It works perfect to me... including the attached PDF!

The only differences with your configuration are Zotero conector: 5.0.195 and Firefox no beta (148.0.2)
