Zotero Standalone is also available for Chrome and Safari, Mac and Linux. Zotero Standard works very similar to Zotero Firefox, but does not open in the same browser window, it operates in a separate window. If you download that you must also download the appropriate connector. This enables Zotero to "screen scrape" the metadata information from webpages into Zotero.
Open Zotero by clicking on the Z at the top or bottom of your browser.
Synching is important so Zotero works across your devices. Below image has Zotero inside Firefox - While looking at articles/webpages on top, one sees folders/groups on left, articles, webpages in middle, details/citation/tag/note information on the right. It works like iTunes.
