Firefox 15, which is currently in beta but scheduled to be released on August 28th, finally disables the trick that TiddlyWiki uses for saving changes to itself (see [1]). From a general security perspective, this is probably a good thing - especially if you've watched a less computer-literate friend or relative deal with random yes/no dialogue boxes; that familiar confirmation dialogue isn't much protection.
So, I've started work on a little Firefox extension called "TiddlyFox" that can save files on behalf of TiddlyWiki. TiddlyFox stays in the background until you load a TiddlyWiki 2.x.x document from a file: URL. It then patches the TiddlyWiki document on the fly to have it invoke the extension to save files on it's behalf. I've tested the extension on Firefox 14 (the current version) and the beta of Firefox 15. To install the extension, navigate to [2] in Firefox. You should be prompted to install the plugin. Then, if you navigate to a TiddlyWiki document on a file: URI you should get an alert notifying you that TiddlyFox has patched the document. Save changes should then work in the normal way. Right now, the extension is very basic, without a full user interface. The plan is to add a proper confirmation dialogue, and to extend it with functionality something like TiddlySnip for clipping bits of web pages into a TiddlyWiki document. It will also work with TiddlyWiki5 (it doesn't yet). I'd be very grateful for any testing, and ping me here with any feedback or questions. Best wishes Jeremy.
