Hi Peter. I tried disabling all plugins, I tried using the original unmodified 2.6.2 version I'd downloaded and I tried restarting FireFox in safe mode, all without any improvement.
When I say I can import form my local tiddlywiki I mean I can import from my old 2.2.5 tiddlywiki. they are both access directly, rather than being on a web server somewhere, and are both in the same directory on my local hard drive.
