The problem is that Firefox has become a little bit more like a
product of the Redmond machine, protecting us by turning off abilities
that we have come to rely on. So every time Firefox updates, some
plugins automatically stop working. This requires plugin authors to be
constantly updating their code, or the packaging for their code, in
order to keep it compliant.

If you search through this forum, you will find that someone has
worked out how to change the wrapper for the code so that it will
still run. There is also a tiddlysnip forum in google groups that has
the update instructions.

A good way to search the group (the default search bar is almost
unusable) is to use the google lingo:

  <keywords> site:http://groups.google.com/group/tiddlywiki

You've got me thinking though. Does anyone know off-hand what language
the FF plugins are written in?

My problem with tiddlysnip is that it appends to the bottom of your
working file, which means you can't simultaneously go and make updates
to the TW file itself -- you have to remember to refresh before making
any hand-additions.

A product I've used, and sometimes like better, is a free editor
called notetab (www.notetab.com). It has a pasteboard function, so
that anything you copy is automatically copied back into your editor.
This allows you to copy and collect information. When you're done with
your session, you can copy all the material from the pasteboard into
your TW.  I keep thinking that there ought to some similar, dedicated
software that could do just this copy-grabbing, but so far haven't
found it.
