Zotero Connector for Chrome intermittently fails to import Google Scholar results — Debug ID D847527
I'm having trouble importing Google Scholar search results using Zotero Connector for Chrome.
Environment:
macOS Sequoia 15.6.1
Google Chrome
Zotero 10.0.6 (ARM64)
Zotero desktop application running
Problem:
When I open a Google Scholar search results page, Zotero Connector correctly displays the folder icon and allows me to select all 20 publications.
After selecting the publications and clicking OK, the "Saving to" popup appears, but only some references are imported. On the first page of results, only 3 of 20 references were imported; on the second page, only 5. The successfully imported references were not consecutive in the search results.
Sometimes, the "Saving to" popup opened but never displayed any publication titles before closing and no references were added to the selected Zotero collection.
Troubleshooting:
Confirmed that Zotero Connector reports "Zotero is currently available."
Checked the error reports in both Zotero desktop and Zotero Connector.
Disabled automatic PDF attachment downloads in Zotero desktop, but the problem persisted.
Connector errors:
The error report included:
Method saveAttachmentFromResolver failed
A request to 127.0.0.1:23119 timing out after 15 seconds
getTranslators: detection is already running
I enabled debug logging and reproduced the problem.
Debug ID: D847527375
Could someone examine the debug log to help determine why the bibliographic records are not being imported?
I'm aware that Google Scholar imposes rate limits, but I haven't established whether that is responsible for these failures. I'm particularly interested in understanding whether the problem occurs during metadata retrieval, communication with Zotero desktop, or another stage of the import process.
I'm trying to export many citations from Google Scholar. For each citation, it requires three clicks to add it to My Library, which is untenable for bulk processing.

Upgrade Storage
add all items to "My Library", then bulk export that to BibTeX or RIS; That's basically one click per item.)
