Hello, I am Gijsbertus, from the Netherlands, and an absolute newcomer to TiddlyWiki (TW5). I am full of hope about it, as it seems to be the only one note taking, writing and representation tool able to represent nonlinear, complex events on the Web.

As I am traveling often I especially need TiddlyWiki to work on my Android mobile devices. However, trying to save my very first TiddlyWiki on Firefox Android nothing happened, no saving occurred. I checked the online tutorials, following their instructions religiously, but to no avail.

I am using Firefox for Android 39.0. I have installed both needed extensions.

As I am such a beginner I do not know if and what I am doing wrong. So I do hope there's anybody here who can help give me a few hints.

Thanks!

I'm not very technical but my experience with Ff 40.0 on Android 4.4.2 (Tesco Hudl 2 tablet) is that a wiki with a couple of plugins (GSD, TiddlyMap) will normally save changes to a new filename, automatically incrementing version numbers. If you install TiddlyFox then it will save to the same filename. YMMV, of course.

What version of Android? Android made changes to saving on external cards at Kitkat 4.4. This is why I refuse to let it update to the latest version.

You said "extensions" (plural). The one that matters, AFAIK, is tiddlyfox. Is that installed?

I'm able to save with android 4.2.2 and firefox vsn 30.0 and tiddlyfox 1.0alpha18.1-signed.

Good luck!

I think I did do something wrong, but do not know what. Anyhow, things work normally now. Must have been a beginner's misatke or so.

Thanks for all your help.
