Hi Jeremy, thanks for all the work you've done on this.. Tiddlywiki is priceless to me; I've been using it on and off since 2009. I'm using Firefox 19 on Ubuntu 10.04, located in India. Installed the Tiddlyfox extension and it's working fine. One triviality: every time I reload the tab, I get a popup which says:
TiddlyFox: Enabling TiddlyWiki file saving capability for: > file:///media/REALM%202/Good%20causes/Swaraj%20University/daily%20log.html > After a couple of sessions it can get intrusive. Can you include a preference in the extension to turn off the reminder? Or to make it something like the regular "Downloads completed" alert that comes up and goes off again in the bottom right? As it's only an FYI alert, not a decision-making prompt.
