I posted the link on Zotero's website on how to use it to add an item to the database when it is being viewed in a web page. It looks like, though I am certain, that you added a link to the web page or something, instead of going to a web page that had that item's bib. data on it (perhaps a library's OPAC web page). In the latter case, Zotero should have parsed that web page and shown a little "book" icon on the right hand side of Firefox's URL bar. Clicking on that icon adds that bib item as a book in Zotero. If you did not do this procedure, please give another try. But if you need more help, Zotero's forum is going to be your best bet.
