In my opinion it's something of a folly to mourn the obsolescence of software. Tempus fugit. Best to just rip off the band aid, download the developer edition of Firefox which is already at 57, and never look back. It's a much better browser and stands a real chance of clawing back market share from Google with average users.
If you think about it, it's probably not a great idea for your browser to be able to save things to your disks silently in the background, which is what Tiddlyfox was doing, after all. Running a server that specifically has permission to save things to disk is the right solution, in my opinion, as boring as that may be. Beaker is experimental, Noteself is quite complicated, the download saver has no auto-saving (any other problems are secondary, as you'll know if you've ever lost work that you didn't save). Tiddlyserver or possibly Webdav will be the right answer for most people, I think.
