David,

1) Regarding Firefox dying:

Firefox is still my favourite, and that is all that is important to me, is 
not surprising the commercial organisations advertising budget is reducing 
popularity, however I am not so sure about those stats. I use firefox all 
day for tiddlywiki and more, I use Chrome a few times a day, and edge/IE 
occasionally. How does my usage show in the Stats? The article is about 
finance and revenues I imagine you can understand this in no way impacts my 
browser choice.

Many of the most desirable plugins I want are now back in FireFox and the 
new mechanisms, I think Timimi uses - "Service Workers?" stands to offer 
better features in the long run.

Good, and that is when it worked for a long time before chrome. As others 
have said, Both browsers need their own plugin/addon and the matching host 
component, the executable. When the version first supported chrome in 
checked all components were updated, now I have no problem on either 
browser.

This is simply broken behaviour as far as I can see. Perhaps check you do 
not have another mechanisum for backups and saving active.

Sorry, Yes, the answer is if you drop content on Tiddlydesktop it may get 
imported to, and break the "Backstage" wiki. If you wanted to import to the 
backstage wiki (unlikely) open it and import there.

The only ways to add Wikis to tiddly desktop that I have used is to use the 
add buttons and point to an existing one,  Although there are templates 
documented in the backstage or help button that will be used when no 
file/folder is present. It is quite happy to open a Wiki I created under 
Bob.

Best of luck
Tony/Tones
