Why do I no longer see a Save to Zotero option in the Firefox open/save dialog?

The Zotero Connector for Firefox uses Firefox's new WebExtension architecture, and extensions are no longer allowed to modify built-in Firefox dialogs. To save a PDF from the Zotero Connector, go to the Applications pane of the Firefox preferences and set PDFs to “Preview in Firefox”. When viewing a PDF, you can then click the Zotero Connector save button to save the PDF to Zotero, or click the download button in the PDF viewer toolbar to get the open/save dialog.

If you prefer not to preview PDFs in Firefox, you can also drag a PDF link from Firefox to Zotero to add it to your library.
