To the best of my knowledge, there is no planned replacement for TiddlyFox (Jeremy, please correct me if I'm wrong). The extension mechanism that TiddlyFox relies on will be removed from Firefox when version 57 gets here. The mechanism that replaces it will not support the functionality needed to write a replacement add-on (also, correct me if I'm wrong as I'm not an extension developer).
There are a number of alternatives. Some exist today, some are still in discussion. None are exactly like TiddlyFox. Some of them include: Running TiddlyWiki on Node.js (http://tiddlywiki.com/static/TiddlyWiki%2520on%2520Node.js.html) Running TiddlyServer on your computer (https://github.com/Arlen22/TiddlyServer) Running Noteself instead (https://noteself.github.io/) Running IIS or Apache locally configured to support WebDAV (various discussions on this forum) Each of those options has benefits and disadvantages. All of them (except using Noteself) require you to install software on your computer (this might not be an option in some situations). Noteself with a properly configured CouchDB server somewhere on the Internet in a pretty interesting solution but some people are having challenges getting set-up the way they want. Without a CouchDB server you could easily lose everything (clearing all local data would delete all your saved content).
