Hi Naamah,

I don't know if there is a better option, but this works:
Tiddlytools has a bookmarklet "Save current storeArea contents to clipboard" 
(search for bookmarklet).
Drag the bookmarklet to your bookmarks.
With your TW open, click the bookmarklet and follow the instructions.
Then at least you can have all your tiddlers as plain text in a text editor.
 Use an "old" (v3.6.x) portable version of Firefox to circumvent the 
security/saving problems with new versions (especially v 15 and up).

Good luck,

Ton
