You're not the only one.  I'm having issues too but I'm using the 
SaveTiddlers add-on (similar principle).  This started on January 26th, but 
it was right at the end of my work day and I didn't really have any time to 
troubleshoot.  I actually completely lost my TW as a result of this but was 
able to restore from a backup.

When I make a change to a tiddler, I'm prompted to save the TW (with a save 
dialog), but the save for the filename is not what I originally called it, 
It's "readTiddlySaverInstruction38335972.html".  If I alter the filename 
and try to save it in C:\Users\MyUserName\Downloads\tiddlywikilocations 
(replacing my existing TW) then I get a message "TW not in 
tiddlywikilocations within the download directory.  using default download 
directory.".  However this should be the default directory as specified in 
the add-on instructions.  In addition,  the initial save attempt with the 
"bogus" filename completely deletes the TiddyWiki file, so if you simply 
cancel out of the second save dialog, your file will be lost forever!

If I simply try to save the file with the "bogus" filename given above, I 
get no error message but a new save dialog with the appropriate filename 
and an overwrite confirmation message.  Upon clicking "yes", the file 
changes appear to save.  I've never had to do this before, TW with the 
SaveTiddlers add-on has worked flawlessly up till now without prompting me 
to save every time.  I don't know if something has corrupted or if an 
update in Firefox versions has broken something (I didn't pay attention as 
to when exactly I updated Firefox, it could well have been on the 26th).

I don't want to stop using TW but this change is problematic, so I'll 
probably search for a different solution if this isn't something that is 
effecting all Firefox users (maybe switching to TiddlyDesktop like the OP).
