Okay, that was interesting. Well done Eric for coming up with the solution which helped Alex. I'm confused by the answer though, as I use TiddlyWiki to save locally from Firefox under Linux myself, and have never had such a permissions problem before, and I don't use, nor need, the TiddlyFox plugin.
I'm wondering if this is a TWC issue and it doesn't affect TW5? I noticed that Alex kept mentioning *"clicking 'save changes' under 'admin tools' in the sidepanel"* (emphasis mine), which I assume indicates that Alex is using TWC, not TW5, am I right?
