Thanks, that helps a lot. Due to the missing "Copy" on right mouse-click, I never just tried a left-click on the highlight and ctrl-c to copy the text. That works in fact! For better user experience, it would be good if the developers would still a…

Thanks for the detailed explanation, but holding shift does something different than what I suggested. Your solution does not solve my enhancement request. In fact, when hitting shift I can manually highlight text, but what I need is to exactly copy…

Thanks for your response. Hitting shift doesn't seem to change anything and it doesn't give an option to copy text. Did I oversee anything?

Thank you very much, Dan! Our IT department was quick and updated to Firefox 54.0. Now, also the Firefox Zotero Connector works! This issue is solved. Thanks.
-
Thanks, I will ask the IT department to update Firefox and will report whether this fixes the problem with Firefox Connector.

As WhitePJ and Mjules discussed, in some professional settings the user doesn't have administrative privileges (which is no problem with the Firefox Add-in). Would it be possible to additionally provide a self-contained version of Zotero 5.0 which …

Thanks in advance for the upcoming Zotero 5.0 release. I just wonder whether there will be any issues if some users of a group library keep using Zotero 4.x while others make the switch to Zotero 5.x. Due to missing super user rights, this will be…

Dan, thanks for your great help. Everything you said worked fine. (1) The branch XPI fixed the syncing error (2) with the en-US setting, the group libraries showed up also in the branch XPI (3) Switching back to 3.0.12 and the de-locale was…
-
I tried again with the Branch XPI (I am quite sure that it was the Branch XPI in the first try, too) and indeed, the group libraries are gone. When I wanted to access a collection in my library, Zotero gave the message that I shall restart Zotero an…

Branch XPI, this one: http://www.zotero.org/download/dev/zotero-4.0-branch.xpi

Oops, I installed most recent the Branch XPI. Then all group libraries were gone and I realized that the CPU usage went up as well as the free disk space increased ("df" on Linux). I stopped it and went back to the release 4.0.12 to be safe. The gro…

Thanks Dan, I will try it. Unfortunately, syncing is broken since this morning (https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/31620/). Maybe someone made changes while I had disabled the auto-sync on my computer. Do you have an idea what I can do about this …
-
The hangs appear often and they are not really associated with a particular kind of action. Sometimes, it hangs after renaming an attachment and file, it often hangs during/after changing or adding a tag. The temporary hangs are usually around 30-40…
-
Dear Dan, the version 4.0.10/11/12 indeed helped a lot. There are much less hangs and working with Zotero became actually possible again. Since a few days I added/changed tags in the group library and I encounter (again) very long delays that a…
-
Dear Dan, I did some more testing and the Branch version 4.0.9.r11352 (downloaded today) looks very promising: Whereas the stable version 4.0.9 has a cold start time of (first test/second test) 18sec/32sec, it always has the temporary hang imme…
-
A side-question: How long can I disable auto-sync (for testing) without risking syncing conflicts later on? I remember having had disabled auto-sync back in the 2.x days and it resulted in a couple of conflicts. Is it still like that?
-
I need to correct one piece of information in my reports above: When I refer to manual syncing, I always referred to the settings "attached files in [mylibrary or group library] syncing with" under the heading File-syncing. I had disabled these an…

Here the related debug ID: D1481946191 Settings: computer online, manual file sync. Results: Zotero cold start 16 sec. Hang after successful start-up 48 seconds. After that, I submitted the debug ID.
-
Dear Dan, thanks for your answer. I did some more testing and I think it narrows down the problem a bit. Answers to your short questions: * There is no saved search * I always restarted the computer between the test results (not if I indica…
-
Sorry for my late response, but I needed a bit time to test your ideas over the weekend. I tried out what you described and Zotero feels usable again, but still not perfect. E.g. the temporary hangs are still there, but at least not as long as befor…
-
Thank you very much for your help, Dan. Yes, by "mark all entries" I mean "Select all" (Ctrl-A)
-
Second Debug ID: D789664589. Start-up of Zotero slow. Mark all entries results in temporary hang. After cold start of computer and Firefox, I started Zotero (clicking on the Zotero tab). This took 28 seconds until Firefox responded again and Zo…
-
The size doesn't seem to be the problem. However, maybe a developer could have a brief look at the library, whether there is something not working correctly in the library-interna. I will try to report the slow-downs and temporary freezes as de…

Today, Firefox 16 was released for Ubuntu and I am happy to tell you that it solved the problem. There was no crash and the conflict resolution could finish. Thanks! This issue is solved.
-
Since this bug seems to involve both, Firefox and Zotero, I also created a Mozilla bug entry: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=797709 @Dan: Do you see any (interim) solution or work-around?

Hi Dan, thanks for your help. The URLs for the crashes resulting from the same problem, are: https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/bp-660859cd-6d14-4252-bba6-46bcd2121002 https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/bp-ce8afc04-f530-…

Interestingly, the problem is solved now. It took very long and I actually don't know why it is working now. Yesterday, I tried three times to get the debug ID (on computer no. 1), but it always came to over 700,000 lines and took about three …
-
Dear Dan, thank you very much for having had a look at the database and your email. I tried the work-around which you proposed. Unfortunately, it did not solve the problem. But the error messages are now different: What did I do? I tried t…

It would be really great to have a UI for this. The best place would be actually in the menu "set document preferences" in the OpenOffice or Word extension. Thanks!

The debug ID is: D560220778 Interestingly, a colleague reported that since yesterday, also her computer (Computer No.2) has sync problems with the same group libary. I assume that it is the same problem. However, on my computer (Computer No. 3) ha…
