In the latest version of Firefox there is no icon for download to Zotero
I have been using Firefox and Zotero on my old computer but have now installed Firefox and Zotero on my new computer.. When I come to PubMed I find there is no icon for downloading the citation to Zotero.
I can only do it with a very long and tedious process of saving the citation to a separate file, uploading it to Zotero and then moving into the appropriate library.. It seems the Pocket icon has taken the place of the icon I used to use.
Is there any way of getting the icon back or can I download an earlier version of Firefox

Did your Zotero installation include the "Connector" part? You could check the Add-ons page to see whether it needs to be enabled. Either:
- Ctrl+Shift+a (Mac: Command+Shift+a)
- "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
- type or paste about:addons in the address bar and press Enter/Return
In the left column of the Add-ons page, click Extensions.
Then scan down the right side and especially at the bottom where disabled extensions cluster to see whether Zotero is listed and can be enabled.
If it's not listed, try downloading the Connector add-on from here:

Does that work?

Also, if an add-on is installed and enabled but you can't find its button, here are some places to check:
(1) For toolbar buttons
Excess buttons "overflow" onto a drop-down at the right-end of the bar. The icon looks something like this: >>.
If it's not there, try calling up the Customize panel and check among the icons available there. Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars
(2) For address bar buttons
Click the Page Actions menu, which looks like •••, and see whether it is there. You can use it from there or, to add it next to the menu, right-click the item and click Add to Address Bar.
