    Unreliable

    Manchmal tut es was es soll. In der Regel aber nicht. Momentan funktioniert es nicht pdfs runterzuladen, was die Hauptfunktion sein sollte.

    It is slow, and full of bugs. It used to bes to that pfs could be imported / added when viewed in Firefox, this is no longer the case, and the plugin wont even open. It is not possible to close the popup after on completes adding a site or reference. You have to close the pane all together, and then reopen if youre not done. Somehow, it seems Mendeley gets more buggy, and overall quality deteriorates with every update. I will surely look into your competition as this wastes to much of my time and focus!

    I can import references but never the pdf. Almost useless

    the "silent" login from the mendeley extension pops up a window every time i start firefox which is REALLY annoying

    even better: every time i close firefox i get logged out of the plugin and when i restart it i have to login again if i want to use it. while that is fine for me what does the "silent login" do then if its not even logging in?!

    It is currently not working for Firefox 88.0 on Ubuntu. It is impossible to log in through the Add-on.

    This tools is good, but the problem is simple, it keep at poping up a tab and that cause problem for me. I think my computer get virus, but after looking at the URL, It's elsevier URL so yeah... It's mendeley...

    UPDATE : Please create the ability via background tab or API, using pop up is unacceptable tbh.. it's bad for UI...

    Thanks for your feedback. This is indeed our "silent" login, which is clearly not silent enough!

    We are actually looking to update how we log in in the near future so you won't have to see this screen pop up anymore, I hope this helps!

    The extension does its job of adding references to your library. However, I feel it lacks a basic feature that is provided both by ZoteroBib and Google Scholar: proving formatted citations in multiple styles (including BibTex). Another suggestion: please let us disable that obtrusive "Get the PDF" button.

    Hi there! The feature to disable the View PDF button will be in the next release (or the next release but one). Formatted citations are available from Mendeley Desktop once the reference is imported. We are monitoring demand to be able to copy the formatted citation directly from the extension and will add your feedback in support of this feature.

    For some reasons the button leads to 'enhanced reader' instead of the import popup. Am I missing anything here?

    Hi Guan. Clicking the extension icon in the toolbar will always launch the import popup. Clicking the 'View PDF' widget will always launch the Enhanced Reader (you can add to Mendeley from there too).
