More importantly, 0.5.10 seems to eliminate a similar issue viewing my Zotero snapshots, with !RequestPolicy blocking all destinations in the local Zotero folder. My saved Zotero pages now look much better, though they still do suffer from a few missing pieces.

I need to test with Zotero to find/eliminate incompatibilities.

Some quick testing with Zotero shows it working fairly well. I didn't see any show-stoppers. What I noticed was that viewing saved zotero://attachment/[NUMBER] pages would would result in blocked cross-site requests from the saved page to various cross-site resources the page would have normally requested, though I don't know if some of these are requests to the same domain (I'm not sure off hand what zotero saves and what it doesn't --- my guess is that it saves content/resources from the same site but doesn't save cross-site content).

When viewing a saved page, the address bar would read zotero://attachment/[NUMBER]. The RP menu shows the origin as being either "attachment" when using "base domain" or "full domain" strictness and "zotero://attachment" when using "full address" strictness. Whitelisting does seem to work.

This all looks acceptable. If this is causing problems, then it's going to take a Zotero+RP user to point out what features of Zotero are broken or what is really annoying about this combination of extensions.

I'm running RequestPolicy 0.5.27 and Zotero 4.0.8 in Firefox 21.0 on OS X 10.8.

When I try to view zotero://attachment/#### PDFs using the built-in PDF viewer, a progress bar quickly appears and completes, but then no PDF is displayed.

I using the "base domain" strictness setting and have tried adding a whitelist destination for attachment, zotero://attachment, zotero://, zotero -- all to no avail.

Viewing PDFs also doesn't work when I temporarily allow all requests using RequestPolicy, so maybe the problem lies with Zotero.

Does anyone else have this problem?
