First of all: Welcome!

I don't know, if it's a good thing, that users need to be "desperate 
enough" to start posting. Or it is just a sign, that TiddlyWiki is so well 
designed, that it can be used for years, without the need to post here. .. 
I'll go with the second option ;)

Long live "file protocol"! ... There will be several options, to use the 
same workflow as with TiddlyFox. ... Not 100% the same, but imo close 
enough that it doesn't break yours.

That's right. BJ did already publish a web-extension 
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tiddlywiki/OQptuvMhytQ> that you 
can test. I'm working hard to publish my approach very soon. I want to have 
a "backup options" that are similar to the classic "LessBackupsPlugin".

I think, you can still go with this approach. 

I'll post a link to the beta FF plugin here, when it's ready to be 
published ;)
 
have fun!
