The best way is to go to http://icanhaz.com/firefoxprivileges and drag the privileges Bookmarklet to your Bookmarks Toolbar.
The first time you use it, it will install a new tab in your backstage named Security. (As of this writing the above site seems to be down. If it stays down, download the plugin from the other site http://firefoxprivileges.tiddlyspot.com/ and use it to set the privileges) Thereafter when you try to save your TiddlyWiki and you get the Firefox security warning open backstage and click the security button. It will open a popup named Manage Firefox Privileges. The first two items will be ticked by default as below. (You may have to allow the security warning once more but after doing that go and set the privileges, note that action too may trigger the security warning so allow it again.) (ticked) Grant rights required to save to disk (Run or install software on your machine - UniversalXPConnect) (ticked) Grant rights required to import tiddlers from servers or access TiddlySpot (Read and upload local files - UniversalBrowserRead) Now at the bottom of the popup there are two buttons 2. Set privileges 3. View privileges Click the button: Set privileges. This should from now on allow you to save that particular TiddlWiki in its location without triggering the security warning. (The View privileges will show you all of the TiddlyWikis that have been allowed and their locations.) NOTE: This must be done for each TiddlyWiki you work with. Note also that if you move the TiddlyWiki to a new location on your disk the privileges must be reset. Likewise any extension of the TiddlyWiki name i.e. such as a #Permalink will also trigger the Firefox security warning and must be reset. (Removing the permalink before trying to save should allow you to save without creating more privileges) Let us know how you go. Also continue this dialogue with myself or others until you are satisfied.
