-If you find that the extension has disappeared from the Safari toolbar or is quickly appearing and reappearing, try closing Safari, deleting the Zotero app from Applications, and redownloading Zotero from the [[/download|download page]]. (Your Zotero data won't be affected.) It may also help to restart your computer in between deleting the app and redownloading.

-We believe the potential causes of this problem have been fixed in Zotero 7. If you continue to experience this, let us know in the Zotero Forums. In the meantime, you may want to consider switching to a browser with a more stable extension framework, such as Firefox, Chrome, or Edge.
+It may also help to restart your computer in between deleting the app and redownloading.
+(To avoid redownloading the app, you may also be able to just compress the Zotero app in Applications (right-click → "Compress “Zotero”"), delete the app, double-click the ZIP file, and start the app. You can then delete Zotero.zip.)
