Upgrade StorageZotero screwing up access to any Google site
Hello,
I have quite a strange problem. Anytime I try to access any google site (including www.google.com, google scholar, and gmail) it re-routes to my University's off-campus login, and even if I go through with that totally unnecessary process, the page then re-routes to some science search engine (BLAST).
Problem started yesterday evening. I am on a Mac running 10.6.3, with Firefox 3.6.8, and Zotero 2.0.3.
The problem is somehow related to Zotero because after deleting cache and all history, running Onyx, etc etc, I finally deleted Firefox entirely (including preferences and profiles) after backing up bookmarks and the Zotero folder.
Re-installed Firefox and all google sites are fine. Restored bookmarks and google sites still work fine. Installed Zotero and all sites were still fine, including after syncing.
Finally, I shut down Firefox, replaced the new Zotero folder with the backed up one, and re-started Firefox. Now, all of the sudden, google sites do not work again.
Anybody have any ideas? Help is much appreciated. Thanks a lot,
R

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Instead of commenting here, you should start a new discussion. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
Zotero has it's own cache of proxies (or proxy list is a better term perhaps?) So somehow it had gotten all the google sites stuck in there as re-routing to my University off-campus access.
How, I have no idea.
Anyway, deleted the offending proxies, and all seems to be working now.
