| Note that Zotero 6 provides a ''resourceURI'' nsIURI object instead of a ''rootURI'' string, so for Zotero 6 compatibility you'll want to assign ''resourceURI.spec'' to ''rootURI'' if ''rootURI'' isn't provided. | Note that Zotero 6 provides a ''resourceURI'' nsIURI object instead of a ''rootURI'' string, so for Zotero 6 compatibility you'll want to assign ''resourceURI.spec'' to ''rootURI'' if ''rootURI'' isn't provided. |

| In Zotero 7, the ''install()'' and ''startup()'' bootstrap methods are called only after Zotero has initialized, and the ''Zotero'' object is automatically made available in the bootstrap scope, along with ''Services'', ''Cc'', ''Ci'', and other Mozilla and browser objects. This isn't the case in Zotero 6, in which these functions can load before the ''Zotero'' object is available and won't automatically get ''window'' properties such as ''URL''. (''Zotero'' also isn't available in ''uninstall()'' in Zotero 6.) The sample plugin provides an example of [[https://github.com/zotero/make-it-red/blob/main/src-1.2/bootstrap.js|waiting for availability of the ''Zotero'' object]] and [[https://github.com/zotero/make-it-red/blob/main/src-1.2/lib.js|importing global properties]] in a bootstrapped plugin that works in both Zotero 6 and 7. | In Zotero 7, the ''install()'' and ''startup()'' bootstrap methods are called only after Zotero has initialized, and the ''Zotero'' object is automatically made available in the bootstrap scope, along with ''Services'', ''Cc'', ''Ci'', and other Mozilla and browser objects.

| Bootstrapped plugins can be disabled or uninstalled without restarting Zotero, so you'll need to make sure you remove all functionality in the ''shutdown()'' function. | Bootstrapped plugins can be disabled or uninstalled without restarting Zotero, so you'll need to make sure you remove all functionality in the ''shutdown()'' function. |
