Description
I've been able to reproduce a bug (on a MAC OS X) reported in the Zotero forums. When clicking on a book icon that shows up in the address bar at Amazon.com, I get a "Saving item" message in the lower right corner of my browser window that doesn't go away. It hovers in front of any new tabs or windows that I open and remains there until Firefox is restarted. Moreover, the auto-captured item doesn't appear in my Zotero Library unless I close the Zotero pane and reopen it in a new *window* (not tab). Here is the relevant error reported in my error console:
Error: uncaught exception: Permission denied to call method Location.toString
Just prior to loading amazon.com, I also got a string of the following error messages:
Error: uncaught exception: Permission denied to get property Window.writeDebug
I've reproduced the "Saving item" bug several times by closing and then restarting my browser.

Also, the errors in the description are just errors from Amazon, I believe, not from us. (We don't have a writeDebug() call, for example.)
I don't see any errors myself, but the translator is hanging on "running handler 0 for itemDone".

Yes, the new Amazon translator seems to be dependent on Simon's modified Ingester.HTTP.doGet(), which isn't available in r2. We'll have to have a discussion about Z-version dependencies for translators, but in the meantime, can the translator be changed to work with the released version?

- Resolution set to wontfix
- Status changed from new to closed
The problem reported on the forums (at least by Peter) was, I believe, fixed in r845 a few weeks ago. However, there does seem to be a problem in 1.0.0b2.r2 with the new Amazon translator.
Sean, does the new translator rely on some code that's not present in r2? I don't get this in the bundled 10/02 version, but I get it in your 11/21 version with r2. It works fine with a dev build.
