Ciao PMario

The fallback saving mechanism of save(1), save(2) etc is not really viable 
for long term use. Its too cumbersome. Its also confusing for new users. 
Saving a TW is NOT the same as downloading an image. It needs to be 
re-entrant.

*You are absolutely right about the latest V1 TiddlyFox still working*. The 
V2 is neater, but harder to set up till verified. 

Elsewhere I asked Jeremy why V1 is still marked as "experimental". He 
pointed out to me the hassle that Mozilla put developers through if they go 
further. Nonetheless naive users will see "experimental" add-ons 
differently that green ones.

*I agree this is NOT any fault of TW*. 

But the difficulties are growing with download file save. I think that is a 
fact.

What happens at Firefox 57? 

Best wishes
Josiah
