I have the TiddlyFox extension installed on my Mac. When I save a tiddlywiki, Firefox always attempts to download a copy of the file.  Firefox starting doing this about a month ago so I'm wondering if there is some sort of setting I changed. I am running Firefox 53.0.3 on a Mac running Sierra.

Anyone know how to prevent Firefox from attempting to download a copy of tiddlywiki file everytime I save it?

Firefox toolbar > click on the TiddlyFox icon > enable the saving option. HTH.

I reinstalled Tiddlyfox, restarted Firefox, and now Firefox is no longer attempting to download a copy of the file.

I think I know what was happening. I was accidentally opening Tiddlywiki files off of an external drive so that's why Firefox was attempting to save a copy of the file. Duh.
