[tw] Re: newTiddler failing on installing TiddlyFox - any thoughts on how to debug this or what might be happenning, please?
Since I posted the above, I was able to restore the older version of Firefox that I was using before the recent upgrade. From that I have been able to establish that is not my Tiddlywiki - it is either the Firefox or the TiddlyFox or the combination that is crippling the functionality. I am wondering if it is possible that any of the macros I have written (over the years) or the customizations I have done might interfere with TiddlyFox. Does anyone know if that is a possibility (though I doubt it highly)? In the unlikely event that some customizations could interfere with TiddlyFox, what is the way to debug it? Thanks.

Browser: Firefox 23.0 and Firefox Portable 11.2. TiddlyWIki Version: TiddlyWiki, major: 2, minor: 6, revision: 2, date: new Date(Jan 6, 2011) I noticed that when I invoke newTiddler now nothing happens. However, I can open a existing tiddler and change it and save the changes. This is true of all of the separate tiddly files I have - some of which have not changed in months. I am out of ideas on how to debug this and still figuring out where to start from. In the meantime, if you have some ideas about how I can debug this, I would appreciate it. Try ToolsWeb DeveloperError Console, and see what it reports, especially the last error it shows. This may indicate what is happening after you click newTiddler that is preventing anything from being displayed. -e -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups TiddlyWiki group.

So I can build an environment to match your's to see if I can replicate the issue what version of TiddlyFox are you using? And you said: Firefox 23.0 and Firefox Portable 11.2. Dose this happen on 11.2 as well? (You don't need TiddlyFox to save in this early of a Firefox build.)

It is my issue; and due a bug I had introduced. The bug showed itself now
due to current versions of Firefox no longer supporting the security
manager.
I had hacked the Tiddly so that every time I create a new tiddler, the name
of the tiddler is automatically copied to the clipboard. The code runs
something like:
try {
mySysClip =
Components.classes[myId].getService(Components.interfaces.nsIClipboardHelper);
netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege('UniversalXPConnect');
mySysClip.copyString(title);
}
catch( err ) {
alert(Error in copying to clipboard: + err);
}
Except that I had the first line outside the try block :-( and that failed
with the new version of Firefox as Firefox no longer allows enabling
previlege - I found out today.
The code to write to clipboard was given to by Eric Shulman years ago; but
the bug was introduced by me.
To fix this, I have to make a small extension - one of these days,
hopefully.
Thanks Eric and Arc for your help in figuring this out.

Since this uses Netscape privilege manager which has be *disabled* in
newer Firefox builds this won't apply as a quick and easy fix, but if you
are just copying things to your clipboard imagine if you rewrote the code a
little bit to work in the same way as WYSIWYG editors than you could use
the simple work around you can for them:
