Downloads a .xpi file (0.6 MB). In Zotero, open Tools → Plugins and install it from the file.
In useAn estimate of how many copies of Zotero have it: Zotero downloads each new version once for every copy that has the plugin, so we count the downloads of its most-downloaded recent release. Rounded. Plugins that update from outside GitHub count low.
62
DownloadsAll-time downloads of its release files from GitHub, counting every update. Installs from elsewhere aren't counted.
