[TWc] Forked version of Firefox to use as local application?

[roger]

For those of us using TW as a local application, is there a forked version of Firefox suitable for use? A browser that isn't intended for browsing the web, only browsing local html files.

I've tried using TiddlyDesktop but we may have 30 or 40 TW's open at a given time. So accessing a specific TW from the browser Sidebar tab is very efficient. I couldn't duplicate that efficiency with my limited efforts to use TiddlyDesktop.

A "local system only" version of FF v14 with the xpconnect privileges intact would be ideal.

He wants a FireFox version that still allows direct file I/O functions to be used to save local files.

Installation files for all old releases of FireFox can be found here:

   https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/

For example, FF14.0.1 (Windows, US English) is here:

   https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/14.0.1/win32/en-US/

enjoy,

And there are old portable versions of Firefox as well:

Since you are using this for offline only, and I have a soft spot for people still using TWC as it's my favorite I'm going to share something with you.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!DO NOT USE THIS ONLINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Make a Boolean pref called: "security.turn_off_all_security_so_that_viruses_can_take_over_this_computer"
Set it to true

Enjoy modern portable Firefox features such as CSS3 and HTML5 well using TWC as it was intended.

Please avoid over sharing this Information. If people start using this extremely hidden pref willy-nilly it will run a high chance of being removed from firefox which would hurt us all.

A Acorn,
Thanks for the info. Not sure I'll go that route but appreciate knowing about it none the less.
