However... just for my information. If I save a link into Zotero using Firefox, it WILL open Firefox to display the webpage back? What if I don't have Firefox on the machine any longer? Most of my links were done using Firefox and I did wonder

My problem was much simpler, and nearer to home in the end. The Default App list in Windows>Settings had been amended to direct all .PDF files to use Firefox to open them. Causing Mayhem on my PC. I amended the list to use Adobe and the problem r…

How do you cope with google scholar?

OK just tried ticking the select box next to the paper's journal entry and then saving. It works. I didn't know I could do that. It saves even MORE time on the d/l! Well it does on Firefox, but Chrome a little clunky. My apologies for causing …

Adam to my shame I haven't ever used dropbox or similar!! I am just registering and finding out what to do. Give me a few minutes...

OK, I have 10 screen shots ready to send you showing the sequence you say can't happen, happening. 5 Firefox, 5 Chrome. Give me an email address?

Adam what you are implying can't happen, is happening on my PC. If you want screen shots of what happens, please supply an email, I can't upload the screen shots here

The icon at the top of the Firefox browser page is a small, red PDF icon. When I hover the cursor over the top it says 'save to zotero PDF'. When I click it, it saves the paper as a PDF into my zotero directory. This is the point when I'd have exp…

Adam THIS bit from your post above 'click on the Save to Zotero icon at the top, Zotero will download both the metadata _and_ the PDF. That's the standard way of using Zotero.' Is the bit that is NOT happening. This is what has become a 2 stage proc…

Yes Adam. I DO understand this. I have used Zotero for well over a year now, and have gotten quite... adequate at it(!). But this is not my problem. I like Zotero 5.0, I see the worth of being free to use any of the 3 browsers I have. I have t…

They are scientific papers from my university's online library link into such resources as Science Direct, an online repository giving access to a wide variety of online scientific journals, and the papers published therein. I doubt you'd be able t…

Even after downloading the Chrome connector (as I said earlier) I do not get automatic download of the meradata for the file I ask zotero to save. I have to go into the zotero library, right click the PDF file then scroll down to the download metada…

You asked what is happening? So... I got your reply to install the firefox connector. I tried and it failed. Don't know why. When I try to d/l again, I get an error message saying the download is not a PDF file and it fails the open after the down …

I gave in and installed the Chrome connector.... It does the same! I click the button to download from the web on the chrome tool bar - (it shows as a small pdf icon) the download takes place - but is a pdf file. THEN when I go into Zotero and rig…

Now every time I try to download I get this error message. So basically it seems I'm stuffed?

Thanks for help. I've copied instructions ready for any melt down I may get should the transfer from 4.0 to 5.0 not go as planned. I've spent years in IT, and have low expectations...

Thanks for this Adam. I have successfully backed up my 58K (!!) zotero references. Who knew I had so many... One point. The instructions for Windows 10 aren't quite as written in that document you quote. Microsoft have hidden the appdata pathway in…

I am about to implement Zotero 5. As a precaution I want to back up my zotero links before moving from Zotero 4 so IF somethimng happens to my research on the switch I should be able to import the data manually. (That's the theory!) I tried exportin…

I too am having problems with install of 5. I on Firefox get the following message:- Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 127.0.0.1:23119. The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments. …
