We recommend you install the Zotero 4.0 version for Firefox.
This means that you'll need to have your Firefox browser open to begin. If you do not yet have
Firefox simply navigate to mozilla.org and follow the instructions for download and installation.
Once you have your Firefox browser open navigate to Zotero.org/download and select Zotero 4.0
for Firefox. Tell Firefox to allow the installation, install now, and restart now to finish the
installation. Firefox will restart and prompt you to create
a web account. Create a unique username that is easy to remember,
enter your email, create an account password, and type in the security words.
Then click Register. Check your email for the confirmation email.
And confirm your email address by clicking on the link. Next open your Zotero by clicking
on the button in the right-hand corner of your browser. This button will automatically
appear as part of your Firefox browser. Locate the first menu in the middle of the
pane, the actions menu, and select preferences. Open the Sync tab and enter in your username
and password. Then click the search tab, and in the middle of the box, click on Check for
Installer, and select install. This will enable PDF indexing.
Finally click on the cite tab, and select Get a word processor plugin. Locate the appropriate
plugin for your operating system and word processing program, and then again, Allow,
Install Now, and Restart Firefox to finish the installation.
