Hi,
Just in case it saves anyone the hassle I've had tonight.
Following the instructions for Android I couldn't get my TiddlyWiki to open at all. Firefox was throwing errors along the lines of "the file has moved or you do not have sufficient permission". I'd been using it regularly on my phone until a few months ago so I knew it had worked previously.
It turns out that with Android Lollipop you need to give each app specific permissions, in this case as below.
Settings > Apps > Firefox > Permissions > Storage (slide to on)
Otherwise you cannot access any locally stored files. It might be worth making a note on the relevant tiddler.
Thanks again for all your good work.
