Zotero integration with browsers (e.g. Firefox) and word-processors (e.g. LibreOffice Writer)

In this video I will explain how Zotero can be integrated with Firefox and LibreOffice Writer by using Zotero's "browser connector" (that is an add-on) and Zotero's extension for LibreOffice.

You can use the same tutorial to connect any Chrome-based browser ("Chromium-based" to be correct) to Zotero. Also, Microsoft Word and OpenOffice will work the same as LibreOffice with minor differences that I explained in the video.
