Eric,
Just wondering if you determined whether ShowLocalFolder could be salvaged 
in FF 15+ using an extension.  Some of the other functionality in the TW's 
we use at my office don't work with IE, while FF works great, or at least 
it did work great.

 The only way to use the filesystem functions is to invoke them from a 
 true browser-level extension so that they are automatically run as 
 'privileged code' , much like the new TiddlyFox extension that Jeremy 
 has recently created to enable FF15 to read/write local files without 
 security errors.  It might be possible to provide similar extension- 
 driven functions for reading local directory information.  I'll have 
 to look into that.

 Yes, that's the cause.  Unfortunately, as of FF15, FireFox has removed 
 support for PriviledgeManager, which is used to get 
 UniversalXPConnect priviledges for access to the diretory 
 information.  Thus, ShowLocalDirectory is broken with FF15 (but should 
 still work with IE, which has different browser-specific file/ 
 directory access functions).
