Hi Jeremy,
Thanks for doing the TiddlyFox plugin. Here are my results:
I'm on Ubuntu (Xubuntu) 11.10, using Firefox 15 and I tested a newly
downloaded 2.6.5 TW.
First I downloaded and installed your TiddlyFox plugin. I was able to save
my previous 2.6.4 TW (which was already and still working due to being in
the prefs.js file) and a new 2.6.5 - both worked, but requiring you to
click the TiddlyFox dialog box.
Next, I disabled the TiddlyFox plugin and then edited by
$HOME/.mozilla/xy_random/prefs.js file like so:
user_pref("capability.principal.codebase.p83.granted",
"UniversalXPConnect");
user_pref("capability.principal.codebase.p83.id",
"file:///home/midpeter444/spideroak/wiki/my-new-wiki.html");
user_pref("capability.principal.codebase.p83.subjectName", "");
and that also works to save the new 2.6.5 wiki *without* the TiddlyFox
plugin.
It's nice to have two ways to solve this. I will probably go with the
manual editing step to avoid the dialog popup. I will have to solve this
on my Windows work computer in a few days when I get in the office again.
