Hi Jeremy, I'm having problems with the combination of 2.7.1 and the new (1.0alpha10) Tiddlyfox . I've spent several hours trying to figure out why my TW 2.7.0 beta file that worked perfectly well when I went to bed yesterday will no longer save, and the backups all load with plugin errors and the kind of strange characters that Arc reported. I've had absolutely no success with my own file, but in case it's useful, here's what happened when I started from scratch:
On Windows 7 - Uninstalled Firefox and downloaded a new, clean version (19.0). - Added TiddlyFox 1.0alpha10. - The only other extension I installed was LastPass. - Downloaded empty 2.7.1 (beta 1) and put it into a folder also containing TiddlySaver.jar - Cleared all cookies and history, closed and reopened Firefox and the empty TW file. - Added a new tiddler with text containing the character "»" After saving and reloading, the tiddler contains "»" Rather amusingly, each new save and reload adds an additional  (or other odd character) to the tiddler text cmari On Sunday, March 3, 2013 1:55:53 AM UTC-8, Jeremy Ruston wrote: > > Hi Arc > > Thanks.
