Sometimes latest versions of the software can cause issues when installed on older devices or devices running an older version of the operating system.

Software makers usually fix these issues but it can take them some time. What you can do in the meantime is to download and install an older version of Zotero 5.0.85.

What's new in this version:

- Download remotely updated files in “as needed” file sync mode
- Previously, files updated remotely wouldn't be downloaded in “as needed” mode if a copy of the file already existed locally, and they could only be re-downloaded by deleting the file via Show File. This change causes remotely modified files that exist locally to be downloaded at sync time, even in “as needed” mode.
- Files modified remotely before this change won't be downloaded at sync time in “as needed” mode, but they'll now be re-downloaded on open.
- Full-text indexing improvements
- When using full-text content syncing, “Rebuild Index…” → “Index Unindexed Items” can now be used to force immediate processing of downloaded content
- Fixed “Unknown” full-text status when an item is reindexed remotely and the content matches the local content
- Allow saved searches to be edited or deleted even if they can't be loaded
- Fixed OPML feed import (since 5.0.78)
- Use Zotero fields (and not just CSL fields) entered in Extra when generating citations
- When checking database integrity, detect and fix a condition that can cause some collections not to be displayed
- Fixed a potential hang when showing the collections containing an item
- Don't open a second copy of Zotero if the Zotero beta is running and a word processor plugin button is clicked while a plugin dialog is open
- Fixed the “Create Bibliography from Items” locale being used for Quick Copy if the Quick Copy locale was never changed from the default
- Parse a tab-delimited creator when only a single line is pasted
