Frequent crashes in Zotero 9 when saving items via web extension or editing tags
I've been experiencing frequent crashes with Zotero 9. The crashes typically happen in two scenarios:
- When using the browser extension to save articles/pages to Zotero.
- When editing tags on items in the Zotero library.
The issue persists even after upgrading or disabling all plugins.
I have submitted an error report with the following ID:
Report ID: 1314299172
Steps to reproduce:
- Launch Zotero 9.
- Use the browser extension (Chrome/Firefox) to capture a web article → crash occurs.
- Alternatively, open an existing item in Zotero and try to add/edit its tags → crash occurs.
No third-party plugins are active (or even after disabling/upgrading them), but the crashes still happen.
Please let me know if any additional information or logs are needed.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Upgrade Storage
I've tried restoring it multiple times, but that didn't help.
I've also reinstalled Zotero many times, and even rolled back to version 7 — still no luck.
