Due to security issues, Firefox15 and above no longer support the use of the *privileged* file I/O functions needed by TiddlyWiki to save a local file. As a result, attempting to save from FireFox 15+ will produce the error you saw. Fortunately, there is a fix that restores the file I/O support for TiddlyWiki by using a FireFox plugin (i.e., a browser addon) called "TiddlyFox", written by Jeremy Ruston (the creator of TiddlyWiki). You can download/install the latest revision of TiddlyFox from here: https://github.com/TiddlyWiki/TiddlyFox/blob/master/tiddlyfox.xpi (Just click on the above link while in FireFox, and it should prompt you to install) Whenever you open a TiddlyWiki document with TiddlyFox installed, you will be asked to confirm whether or not file saving should be permitted (OK/Cancel). Pressing OK allows TiddlyFox to provide file I/ O for the current document. TiddlyFox remembers that choice and applies it each time that document is opened, so that you only see the confirmation message the first time. Pressing Cancel bypasses the TiddlyFox addon and loads the document without support for file I/O (and thus, no saving of changes). If you press Cancel, TiddlyFox will ask for confirmation again the next time you open the document. enjoy, -e Eric Shulman TiddlyWiki Classic Lead Developer TiddlyTools / ELS Design Studios HELP ME TO HELP YOU - MAKE A CONTRIBUTION TO MY "TIP JAR"... http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#Donations Professional TiddlyWiki Consulting Services...
