Hi Everyone

Mozilla posted about the coming changes last year. The crucial information 
before you read this is that (a) TiddlyFox uses so-called XUL APIs to access 
the filesystem and (b) Mozilla’s new WebExtensions API doesn’t offer file 
system access.

https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2015/08/21/the-future-of-developing-firefox-add-ons/

The chances are that the changes will be slow, and that XUL will be supported 
for quite a while. The WebExtensions API is based on Chrome’s extension API, 
and is highly unlikely to ever offer direct file system access; Chrome’s vision 
for extensions is for them to be totally sandboxed from the system.

My own preferred resolution is to migrate TiddlyDesktop to a new architecture 
where it acts as a local webserver, allowing any browser to be used with 
TiddlyWiki.

Best wishes

Jeremy.
