For security reasons, Firefox 15 disabled the feature that TiddlyWiki used to save changes to itself on a file:// URI.
There is now a Firefox extension that you can use to restore saving functionality to TiddlyWiki: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tiddlyfox/ It's currently classified as an alpha, largely because it clunkily pops up a confirmation alert whenever it is activated by opening a TiddlyWiki document. There will soon be a checkbox to say "don't warn me again about this file". If you'd rather not install an extension, you can also edit your Firefox preferences files to re-enable saving for specific TiddlyWiki files as discussed in this previous message: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/tiddlywikidev/1Em8cJviVKk/LVGKpu2LzeAJ Best wishes Jeremy On Thu, Sep 13, 2012 at 5:37 PM, Mark Ungrin <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi - I am having trouble with saving TiddlyWikis.
