Simply put, you must NEVER use the browser's Ctrl-S shortcut. It does not save the TiddlyWiki Classic file correctly because it is saving the current "runtime" page content, which is dynamically generated at load time from the original TW saved file content. These are not the same. You must ALWAYS use the TW-provided "save changes" link from the sidebar. > This happens in Firefox (56.0.1) and Chrome (62.0.3202.62). > What am I doing wrong and/or how can I prevent or rectify the duplication > of backstage links and areas? Unfortunately, the current versions of Firefox and Chrome no longer support the "local file I/O" functions that TiddlyWiki Classic makes use of. If you are using the last revision of TiddlyWiki Classic (v2.8.1), then it includes a version of the "download saver", which DOES still work, by using the brower's "download a file" mechanism to save the file, even if you are working on a locally-stored file. Unless you are heavily-invested in using TiddlyWiki Classic, then I strongly encourage you to switch to using TiddlyWiki5 (the current release of TiddlyWiki), which ALSO provides the built-in "download saver" process, but is still actively maintained, and has numerous other methods for saving, depending upon your browser and system configuration. To migrate your content from TWClassic to TW5, first open http://tiddlywiki.com/empty.html Then, drag your current TWClassic file onto the opened TW5 instance. When the green "drop here" bar appears at the top of the page, drop your file. You should then be prompted to "import" the tiddlers from the TWClassic file into the TW5 instance. Press the "import" button, and all of your tiddlers will be added to the open TW5. You can then use the "save changes" icon in the sidebar (the circled checkmark) to invoke the TW5 "download saver" to get a local copy of the TW5 with all your content tiddlers. Note that there is significant differences in the syntax of tiddlers between TWClassic and TW5, and you will have to manually convert each tiddler to the new syntax, which can be a tedious (and somewhat error-prone) process. Also note that TWC does NOT support old TWClassic plugins, none of your installed customizations will work, even after converting your content to TW5 format... but at least your *content* can be "rescued". Sorry for the bad news.
