I upgraded to FF17 today (64-bit Linux) and can confirm that the older trick of editing your prefs.js as described earlier in this email thread no longer works. That is confirmed in this long thread on the mozilla site: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=546848
So, it looks like the only way to use TiddlyWiki on Firefox as a single file (ie., not using TiddlySaver.jar) going forward is to use the Tiddlyfox plug in, so many thanks to Jeremy for providing it. That means we get an annoying popup dialog box every time you open tiddlywiki from now on, but I'll learn to live with it. -Michael On Wednesday, November 21, 2012 9:21:39 AM UTC-5, Theo K. wrote: > > Hi, > > I upgraded yesterday to Firefox 17 and am a heavy user of TiddlyWikis. > Surprisingly, the update broke the save operation for my mGSD - Getting > things done - wiki. > > Surprisingly, because I've installed the TiddlyFox extension ( > https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/tiddlyfox) which should > enable saving. > Even more surprising, other wiki still were able to save using that > extension, but not that one.
