Maybe I'm out of touch with modern trends in computing, but its
unclear to me what a firewall would have to do with a locally loaded
file. I'm more apt to think that the TW on your stick became corrupted
during a save.

You might test this theory by going to:

  http://www.tiddlywiki.com/

if you can see and load that page, then its probably not the fault of
the firewall.

If that page does work, then you might try downloading and setting up
a new tw, importing if possible the tiddlers from your old one on the
stick. Then maybe saving to a new stick.
