Download and install the browser connector. The webpage page will detect what browser you're using and prompt installation of the appropriate connector.
Each browser has its own version of the Zotero connector, so each browser (i.e., Firefox, Chrome, Safari) will require a unique connector download.
After downloading the connector, if the Zotero icon is not visible on the web browser menu, click on the Extensions icon, then on the Pin next to Zotero Connector to keep the connector visible on your web browser menu bar at all times.
The Connector icon will change, depending on what kind of document it recognizes on the page. It may look like any of these options:
