Ciao Mario

Your answer is smart but TOO SMART. Its disingenuous :-)

Lets stick with TiddlyFox & Firefox. TF is for LOCAL save, not downloading. 
And when TiddlyFox is not present the TW Save acts as a download. Which is 
a pain in the arse because (a) it saves not over your local file but (b) 
creates a new one in a users "Download" directory; SO (c) the WORN OUT USER 
would have to open every newly saved instance to carry on. Its UNVIABLE. 

I think you are missing something. Normal users are not programmers. They 
are nether interested in, nor competent at, smart workarounds.

Just saying :-)

Best wishes
Josiah
