Hi Jeremy, first, I'd like to mention that no changes in TiddlyFox is needed to support loadRemoteFile in FireFox. In SharedTiddlersPlugin, I applied the same fixes that Eric introduced in tw 2.7.0 to httpReq, and including now works (the new version of STP is not published yet, though).
Second, I've seen you mentioned some problems with your email, so perhaps my response about backups in Android got lost too. For this case, here it is: I can confirm that the backups has encoding problems. I tested FF beta 18.0 (current build, the number is not shown somewhy) in Android 2.3.6 and got texts like "A>1@0BL C65 =0?8A0==>5," etc instead of initial texts in Russian. Quite the same story with FF beta 18.0 in Android 4.0.3. I didn't get the suggestion by FrD, though. FF doesn't give me an option of ISO-8859-15, so I can't reproduce this.
