Do refer previous post <\/a>for more on installing zotero client.<\/p>\n

Recently (a week ago from this posting date) when i opened up my firefox browser (v 43.06b – beta), all of sudden the zotero shortcut for firefox went missing.<\/p>\n

Hmm where did this shortcut pergi nie…. dia pergi rumah mak dia ke? \ud83d\ude06<\/p>\n

So i checked out the missing extension under Firefox Add-ons Manager and found out the add-on was automatically set to disable.<\/p>\n

Why was this browser auto-disable the zotero?. AFAIK i’ve been using it for nearly 5 years now and there is no security issues or whatsoever issues with these combo (firefox and zotero).<\/p>\n

After investigated the cause, i did find the browser itself started a policy called “Add-on signing in FireFox”.<\/p>\n

What is it neway? It requires every single add-on to be verified by the browser before each of them can be used. Ler mcm tuh pulak.<\/p>\n

So let’s tweak around the browser config shall we?<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Go to url textbox in firefox browser and type in about:config<\/strong> . Click on the thumbnail to enlarge the pix\u00a0 \"abtconfig\"<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Click the blue button “I’ll be careful, and I promise!<\/strong><\/span>“<\/li>\n
  3. So you will get sorta firefox configuration list<\/li>\n
  4. In search box, type this out xpinstall.signatures.required<\/strong><\/li>\n
  5. You will see the firefox set value true<\/strong> as default for every single add-ons. Meaning each of add-ons MUST<\/strong> <\/span>get verified, it’s a bit annoyed at first.<\/li>\n
  6. Just double clicking the xpinstall.signature.required<\/strong> parameter will toggle the value from true<\/strong> to false<\/strong>. Make sure you set it false<\/strong>, so that your zotero add-ons can be enabled again. Restart back your firefox and voila! your zotero add-ons will automatically enable again.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    IFF you encounter the same issue like mine. Happy trying<\/p>\n

    As’salamualaikum<\/p>\n
