Ah ha the penny drops. You are talking about the QuickEditPlugin. I have no trouble with images in Firefox although I get a popup warning that says "You can't open this location using this program Please try a different location" I ignore it and it creates a valid link in Firefox [img[Rose|file:///Y:/Pics/Rose.jpg]] The warning might be security we'll have to talk to Eric about it. The 'file' button gives the same warning but when I choose a file I get no results at all from it. We'll have to talk to Eric about it Saving TidddlyWiki to me is a matter of administration, I only save in Firefox but check it in IE to see what's different or broken. Any fixes are always done in Firefox then checked again in IE. You absolutely must update Firefox. It was notorious for grabbing memory until it was all gone. I downloaded Process Explorer just to keep an eye on memory and kill Firefox before it hung up the computer. I still need it because of Vista and it runs all the time so I can kill programs that Vista gags on. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-au/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx Firefox memory grabbing has been fixed to a large degree in FF3 and it will solve a lot of your problems. I'll only talk to you after you update Firefox ....and you're not allowed to use any of my Tiddlywikis until then either :-) Morris http://twmath.tiddlyspot.com/ quick and easy math formulas On Jan 2, 11:37 am, "Mark S." <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello Morris, and thanks for your reply . > > On Jan 1, 3:58 pm, Morris Gray <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > The IMG tag maker works under IE6, but it creates an image tag that > > > doesn't work under FF (it lacks the file:/// prefix). > > > If you are saving alternately between IE and Firefox don't do it. > > Er, how would I determine if a particular problem is browser > dependent?
