I agree the site is very confusing I struggled with it also. Using as you have is also confusing. I suggested using the plugin but it isn't easy to find either so I provided a link below. Forget the download you did and use one of the options below. I have given both options and either will install the security tab in backstage. The bookmarklet is preferred because it is available to any TiddlyWiki showing in your browser and doesn't need installation in the TiddlyWiki. Option 1 Plugin Go to the following link and copy the FirefoxPrivilegesPlugin. Put it into edit mode, right-click then 'select all' and copy and paste it into a new tiddler in your TiddlyWiki. Name it FirefoxPrivilegesPlugin and tag it systemConfig. Save and and reload. This will automatically install a tab in backstage named Security. Clicking this tab will bring up the Manage Firefox Privileges where you set the privileges at the bottom. http://firefoxprivileges.tiddlyspot.com/#FirefoxPrivilegesPlugin Option 2 Bookmarklet (Preferred) Go to: http://tiddlytools.com/#InstantBookmarklets Near the bottom of the list there is the Firefox Privilege Manager bookmarklet. This is what you drag to your Firefox BookMarks Toolbar. If your Bookmarks Toolbar is not visible then go to the top menu on Firefox and click View > ToolBars and tick Bookmarks Toolbar. Click and smoothly drag the Bookmarklet from TiddlyTools to the toolbar. Now no matter what TiddlyWiki you are using (while it is showing in the browser) simply click the Firefox Privilege Manager button on the toolbar to set the privileges. From then on you can use the backstage security button if you move it. Let us know how you go.
