Tiddlyfox not saving anymore on Firefox 47.0

[Alain Dutech]

Hello,

I've updated my linux to ubuntu 16.04, 64bits. It comes with Firefox 47.0.
And the Tiddlyfox extention is not working any more => unable to save.

Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80520015 (NS_ERROR_FILE_ACCESS_DENIED) [nsIFileOutputStream.init]"  nsresult: "0x80520015 (NS_ERROR_FILE_ACCESS_DENIED)"  location: "JS frame :: chrome://tiddlyfox/content/overlay.js :: TiddlyFox.saveFile :: line 98"  data: no]

Is it only me ? Any forseen workaround ??

Hi Alain

TiddlyFox definitely works with Firefox 47 64-bit.

One possibility is that there is an issue with the pathname that you’re using to save the file: users have reported problems with paths that contain spaces or accented characters.

The error message you’re getting is “access denied”, which suggests that the TiddlyFox process doesn’t have sufficient permissions to write to the directory that you’re using to save the file. It may be worth checking permissions on the folder and the file.

Best wishes

Jeremy

@Jeremy : exactly; you are right.

Somehow, "root" had become the owner of my directory... Well..

Sorry for the noise.

I have been having this issue for two days, but I didn't update either Firefox (51.01) or Tiddlyfox. My file is in my Dropbox folder. I restored a backup and renamed it, as the original got some sidebar changes (all tabs gone showing only a search result, no way to change it) which I cannot undo. After reading about the permission angle in this post I checked it and the file was 'Read only'. Once I changed  that it saved everything fine.
