Re: [tw] Can't save with TiddlyFox
Thanks for all the pointers, and apologies for the delayed response. I've
prepared an updated TiddlyFox 1.0alpha18 that avoids the reported error.
Please give it a try; if it works I'm submit it to AMO:
https://github.com/TiddlyWiki/TiddlyFox/raw/master/tiddlyfox.xpi
Many thanks,
Jeremy

Re: [tw] Can't save with TiddlyFox
What version of TiddlyFox is appropriate for Firefox 20.0? I have version 1.0alpha17, and it appears that I've lost the ability to save in the last week or so. It's possible that I've upgraded my Firefox in that time. The error message is identical to that of the message that started this thread.

Re: [tw] Can't save with TiddlyFox
Hi Eric Great, glad you're up and running again. The latest version of TiddlyFox has finally made it through to the official Mozilla addons site: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tiddlyfox/ That's now the official source of TiddlyFox, and is hopefully a bit easier to handle than the GitHub repo.

I figured it out, Jeremy. I clicked on the gear icon at the top of the "tools/extensions" and saw that there was an option to "install add-on from file."

Re: [tw] Can't save with TiddlyFox
Thanks, Jeremy. Yes, I was able to save earlier. TiddlyFox doesn't show up in the "Tools" menu. I take it that should be "Tools/Extensions"? It was not clear to me when I got TiddlyFox from the github site what I was to do with it after downloading. I took a clue from the instructions for "development mode installation" and put it in my profiles/extensions folder. I take it there's some additional step that has to her taken to activate it? Or I've put it in the wrong place?

Re: [tw] Can't save with TiddlyFox
Your original message implied that previously you had been able to save changes OK, is that correct? The error message suggests that TiddlyFox is not present or active for the TiddlyWiki file.
