Automatically search in Google Scholar
Often I have a Zotero entry with no PDF attached. It would be nice if there were a Zotero button "Search in Google Scholar", which will open a Firefox tab with the Google Scholar search for that paper, which typically shows the PDF as first hit.
I would even think that a double-click on the entry in my Zotero library should open the Google Scholar search, unless the PDF is already attached, in which case the PDF should open.

If you add Google Scholar as your default search engine you can just drag and drop any item into the search box. Zotero makes the reference, and if the item is in Google scholar it will most likely be the first result.
It is practically as quick as having a dedicated find PDF button. See it in action.
