I have a few comments on this topic. In the GettingStarted tiddler of the TIddlyWikion the website there is an algorithm for saving the file under Firefox. I have a couple of comments about it.
The note of not using Firefox's Save Page function should be given more prominence. Instead of tucking it away after the algorithm, where people who think they know what they are doing (me), do not read that far. It should be included as a note within the algorrithm. In para 7 it says: "Click *OK* in response to the prompt from TiddlyFox <http://tiddlywiki.com/#TiddlyFox> that asks whether to enable saving for this file" This has never, I repeat never, happened to me. You have to click on the TiddlyFox Add On icon in the menu and explicitly Enable Saving. - On Saturday, June 17, 2017 at 12:28:36 AM UTC+1, Richard Evans wrote: > > Hi, > > I have been trying to use TiddlyWiki for a long time, but the sheer number > of bugs I have encountered has put me off.
