Plugins are ZIPs containing at least these two files:
- manifest.json: A WebExtension MV2 manifest with basic metadata
properties and `applications.gecko` with `id` and `update_url`
- bootstrap.js: A bootstrap file, similar to old bootstrapped extensions,
with `installed()`, `startup()`, `shutdown()`, and `uninstalled()`
This is a confusing, bad option, which was already disabled in groups,
and this removes it from personal libraries as well. People seem to be
using it mainly because they think annotations are locked into Zotero if
they don't, which is causing them to ask for this to be done
automatically on every edit, which we don't do because it would result
in constant file syncing and file conflicts [1].
We provide multiple export options for exporting PDFs with annotations,
and people can use those when sharing a file with people who don't use
Zotero. Otherwise, if storing annotations in the file is a priority,
they can use an external reader that's not designed to be tightly
integrated into Zotero.
(As a rare hack, it's of course also possible to export the PDF with
annotations, replace the original file, and import the annotations.)

- Adjust text
- Add "Learn More" button with link to sync documentation for
set-up-sync notification
- Show "Don't Show Again" for set-up-sync even on first display
- Don't perform any action when clicking unlinked text
- Use yellow/orange background instead of blue for notification bar
- Prevent text from wrapping out of the bar at narrow window widths
- Use local variable for observer id
There are two:
- Sync never set up (no username in DB) / set up, but unlinked
- Sync set up but auto-sync disabled and sync not completed in 30 days
Checks are trigged on item adds.
