MDPI serves a JS proof-of-work interstitial in place of the article
page, so Find Full Text found nothing. Run the challenge in a hidden
browser when a page's meta refresh points to a registered challenge
host, then retry the page.
Also match meta refresh URL= case-insensitively, since MDPI's is
uppercase, and bound meta refreshes by the redirect limit.

An hour of retries makes sense for syncing, which runs automatically and
can just spin during server maintenance rather than showing errors that
send people to the forums, but it was also inherited by foreground
requests, where it stalled operations the user was waiting on. Sync and
file syncing now ask for the long window explicitly.
A file URL returning a server error was retried for up to an hour inside
the download, and a 429 or Retry-After was waited out there too. Since
the queue processes one item at a time, that blocked every other
selected item. Throttling now goes to Find Full Text's own per-domain
handling, as it did before 10.0, which also needed to read Retry-After
from a fetch Response and parse HTTP-date values.
https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/133703/
Retry-After was honored unconditionally with no attempt limit, so a server
returning 429 or 503 with the header on every request retried forever.
Retry-After waits and backoff intervals now share the errorDelayMax
budget, with each Retry-After counted as at least a second so that a
value of 0 can't loop forever.
This runs during Find Full Text and connector saves, where the default
30-second timeout and hour of 5xx retries are far longer than a user
wants to wait.
A custom resolver returning a 429/5xx inherited Zotero.HTTP's default
retry policy, which could cause the whole queue to stall for up to an
hour -- or indefinitely for a Retry-After -- on a dead resolver, despite
the 5-second timeout on the request.

Since the switch to fetch() in 0fe31b0f04 (Zotero 10.0.0), download
requests didn't use cookies, and the Referer header was silently dropped
as a forbidden header. Sites that check either -- e.g., IEEE Xplore,
which returns a 502 -- failed during Find Full Text.

As of Firefox 153.3.0esr, Services.scriptloader refuses jar:file: and file:
URIs unless allowUnsafeURL is passed (Mozilla bug 1974213), so no plugin
loads: bootstrap.js fails with "Trying to load untrusted URI", then
"Plugin ... is missing bootstrap method 'startup'".
Pass allowUnsafeURL when loading a plugin's bootstrap.js and prefs.js,
and preference pane scripts, and temporarily enable
security.allow_unsafe_subscript_loads, which covers loads from plugin
code outside the bootstrap scope.
Also add a test that installs a fixture plugin that loads a script from its XPI
and sets a default pref.

Switching to a view that has the same tags but with different types
(manual vs. automatic) kept the previous list, so with "Show Automatic"
off a tag could show or hide incorrectly.
If a view contained manual and automatic tags with the same name, only
one was kept, and it would disappear with "Show Automatic" off.

As of Firefox 140.17/153.4 (Bug 2068406), setting nsIFilePicker's
displayDirectory to a directory that doesn't exist or isn't readable
throws instead of being ignored. This broke callers that pass a saved
path that may be stale (e.g., choosing a PDF/EPUB handler after the old
app's folder was removed, or a missing Scaffold translators directory).
The action column's width was given as "32px", which VirtualizedTable

A userdata upgrade that took more than 5 minutes (e.g., dropping a large
legacy word index) was rolled back by Sqlite.sys.mjs, while its remaining
statements autocommitted and marked the database as upgraded, leaving
steps 126 and 127 missing.
Disable the transaction timeout and replace steps 122-129 (added in
Zotero 7, 9, and 10) with step 130, which checks for each change before
making it. To speed up the upgrade, drop the legacy word index without
overwriting the freed pages, since the full text already exists on disk
and we're just rewriting it in fulltext.sqlite.

The login manager can fail to store a value even when the OS keystore
works -- e.g., if key4.db is read-only, which Firefox 153 triggers
because NSS now creates a new AES key on the first write. Show the

the unencrypted-storage offer, neither of which can help.
Also update the corrupted-logins dialog to add an "Open Profile

Allowing only 'copy' for file attachment drags kept File Explorer from
moving files out of 'storage' but locked the cursor at '+' even for
moves within Zotero. Instead, provide the file via a flavor data
provider that copies it to the temp directory when a target asks for it,
so the drag can allow 'copyMove' again and Explorer's move only touches
the copy. A copy's directory is removed once Explorer has moved the file
out of it, at the next drag, or with the temp directory at shutdown.
Since 56eb77b704, drags of file attachments allow only 'copy' so that
File Explorer doesn't move the file out of storage, but the trees set
dropEffect to 'move' in onDragOver() for drops within Zotero, and OLE
refuses a drop whose dropEffect isn't among the drag's allowed effects.
Have setDropEffect() fall back to an allowed effect and have onDrop()
act on the effect the tree chose, kept in
Zotero.DragDrop.currentDropEffect, rather than on the drop event's
dropEffect.

SpiderMonkey stacks contain only frames, so the startup error messages

dropped the surrounding text instead. Format all three the same way.
We only ever checked for corruption errors from transactions in
queryAsync(), so a corruption error raised by the COMMIT that mozStorage
runs itself bypassed the check. A 10.0 schema upgrade -- which heavily
exercises the database -- that failed due to corruption showed "Database
upgrade error" and a single Sqlite.sys.mjs frame instead of the prompt
offering to restore from a backup.
Two users reported this, but it's not clear what triggered it --
corruption usually occurs during a statement, which we did catch. There
may have been some statement transaction whose corruption error was
caught and ignored rather than being left to abort the transaction,
causing SQLite to then block the commit. That's what the test does, and
it fails without the fix.

unload() closes and re-adds the tab, and the close recorded an undo-close
history entry, so Undo Close Tab could open a duplicate of a tab that was
still open.
_addEntry() wrote the row with REPLACE INTO, listing only itemID and
data, so flag reverted to its default of 0. It's called for every match
on every update, not just new ones, so a retraction the user had hidden
came back as soon as the list changed and Zotero restarted.
A window is marked as closed before its unload handlers run, so the tab
events fired from ZoteroPane.destroy() warned about every observer that
the closing window hadn't torn down yet. The leak check now also requires
the window to be detached from its docShell, and it covers functions. It
caught an observer that outlived its window -- the sync-reminder API key
observer, which is now unregistered on teardown.
Listeners added to the item and collection trees' event bindings
survived unregister() and held ZoteroPane and the views for as long
as the tree objects did. makeClassEventDispatcher() now provides
clearEventListeners(), which the trees call on unregister, so callers
don't need to remove their own listeners. The collection tree focus
listener, a plain DOM listener, is removed in destroy().
Hiding the tag selector destroyed the TagSelectorContainer but left
its media-query listener registered, keeping the destroyed instance
alive for the lifetime of the window and firing setState() on the
unmounted component when the display density changed. The fontSize
pref observer id was also overwritten by the uiDensity registration,
so it was never unregistered.
The cached retractions list is saved with the current data version from
the code, which we can bump to make clients discard their cached data
and refetch it. We've never actually done that, but if we did, it
would've hit a bug: init() would've started the refetch but still sent
the cached ETag, so if the list itself hadn't changed, the server
would've returned 304 and nothing would have been updated. The stale
version then would have survived, so the refetch would have been retried
on every startup.
Retraction Watch has renamed, merged, and added reason terms since these
were added, leaving only 65 of the 102 entries matching a term still in
use. 90% of retracted items had at least one reason that didn't show a
description, and 21% showed none at all. Rebuilt from the current
Appendix B list, which covers every reason in the data.
Windows returns this for ERROR_FILE_CORRUPT/ERROR_DISK_CORRUPT. It's not
in xpc.msg, so the exception has an empty name and isn't in
Components.results, and it was falling through to the generic file sync
error instead of the file access error with the path. Show a message
about the reported corruption in place of the usual permissions advice.

The shims from 5697ee0af7 keep old plugins working for users, but
beta/dev/source builds should still throw to get the attention of
developers and (hopefully breakage-tolerant) beta users.
Plugins written for earlier versions call methods like
CollectionTree#getSelectedSearch(), which now throw. We did this
intentionally to make old code more obviously broken, even with single
selection, so developers would fix their code, but we're not yet
blocking plugins that illegitimately declared compatibility with a
future version, so some haven't been updated and are breaking Zotero.
With a single row selected, the pre-10 functions can technically
continue to work, so for now, restore them and just warn and name the
plugin instead of throwing. They still need to throw if multiple rows
are selected, since plugins that haven't been updated can't safely act
on a selection that might span collections or libraries.
