Hi Jeremy, Thank you so much for the work you've done so far. I've been using Tiddlywiki on and off since 2009 and it's priceless to me. I'm on Ubuntu 10.04 and Firefox 19.0 (just updated). Installed the tiddlyox extension, restarted browser and it's working well; I'm able to save changes to my tiddlywiki file now (not sure which version it is, but I'd downloaded it around september 2012)
One triviality: Everytime the tab is reloaded, I get this popup titled "[Javascript Application]": > TiddlyFox: Enabling TiddlyWiki file saving capability for: > file:///media/REALM%202/Good%20causes/Swaraj%20University/daily%20log.html > There's a cancel and an OK button but both have the same, ie, no effect. It's just an FYI alert. So could you program the extension to make this resemble the less intrusive "downloads completed" alert that swims up in the bottom right? Or include a preference to turn off these alerts? Or not repeat alerts for the same file?
